For less severely affected patients, FES allows for greater improvement in range of motion than traditional physical therapy. References

Furthermore, a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure can be used to examine the bowel. A pale intestine can also be indicative of CMRD.Because patient outcomes rely on early diagnosis, it is recommended that candidates for the disorder should receive lipid panel testing prior to 6 months of age. In patients with only CMRD, lipid panels are expected to display normal triglyceride levels, but LDL and HDL levels may >50% below normal range. The test should also reveal low levels of Vitamin E and heightened levels of creatine kinase in the blood. Prognosis
As of March 2020, only 50 cases of CMRD have been documented in the medical literature. This small number speaks to the rarity of the disease as well as the lack of thorough research and documentation. As a result, the full course of the disease, life expectancy, and mortality are also poorly documented. Clinical manifestation of  CMRD symptoms begin during infancy and early childhood but may go undetected due to the non-specific symptoms associated with the disease. Many of these symptoms can be attributed to malnutrition and nonspecific postnatal diarrhea, confounding early diagnosis. Careful regulation of diet and nutrition are required for management of CMRD since the disease results from the poor absorption of nutrients from food. Treatment
It is recommended that patients with CMRD follow a strict low-fat diet in addition to fat-soluble vitamin supplementation. The fat soluble vitamins are A,D,E, and K. A combination of vitamin A and vitamin  E are effective for combating ophthalmologic complications.
