To date, there is no pharmacological treatment that modifies the course of the disease, but symptomatic management is important, as are the rehabilitation and orthopedic considerations. The latter should be initiated early to identify and improve the patient's functional impairments, including individualized exercise guidelines, orthotic adaptation, and assessment of conservative surgeries such as tendon transpositions.
