HSP is classified according to the clinical phenotype as either pure or complex, the latter presenting with neurological and systemic impairments in addition to spastic paraparesis. [journals.lww.com]

The risk of an individual inheriting the abnormal gene depends on the mode of transmission and whether the mutated gene is present on a sex chromosome or an autosome. [encyclopedia.com]

Progressive neurological signs (primarily abnormal gait) are often present in late childhood or early adolescence but may occur late in life. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  Affected individuals may have sensory neuropathy, motor neuropathy, hyperreflexia of the lower limbs, muscular atrophy or decreased bladder control. Rarely, the disease is associated with parkinsonism. [ivami.com]

  People with this form of spastic paraplegia can also experience exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia) in the arms; speech difficulties (dysarthria); difficulty swallowing (dysphagia); involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus); mild hearing loss; abnormal [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  […] spasticity is increased at the hamstrings, quadriceps and ankles  Weakness is most notable at the iliopsoas, tibialis anterior, hamstring muscles  difficulty in walking, decreased vibratory sense at the ankles, and paresthesia  In lower extremities hyperreflexia [slideshare.net]

  Hyperreflexia and extensor plantar responses are often present. Cognitive deficits are manifest as deficits in attention and higher levels of reasoning. Some patients have a mild peripheral neuropathy with decreased vibratory sense. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

It is divided into the following sections: Overview Differential Diagnoses & Workup Treatment & Medication Follow-up Multimedia [hspersunite.org.au]

Our findings confirm that this is indeed not an uncommon presentation of this disorder and we suggest that SPG7 gene analysis should be included in the diagnostic workup of autosomal recessive PEO, especially if spasticity is present. [journals.plos.org]

However, HSPers report benefits from treatments as diverse as ankle / foot surgery where tendons are relocated, to fitness and specialised treatment from neurophysiotherapists for muscle strength and range of motion. [hspersunite.org.au]

Treatment Treatment Options: Treatment is symptomatic. Physical, speech, and occupational therapy may be helpful in selected patients. Low vision aids may be of benefit in some individuals, at least early in the disease. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

For people with HSP who experience bladder control issues, treatment with oxybutynin might help to relieve bladder spasticity. [disabled-world.com]

Treatment No specific treatment is known that would prevent, slow, or reverse HSP Available therapies mainly consist of symptomatic medical management and promoting physical and emotional well-being 26. Gen. Spas ticity Oral Agents Foc. [slideshare.net]

Abstract Although SPG11 is the most common complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia, our knowledge of the long-term prognosis and life expectancy is limited. [nature.com]

Prognosis Although HSP is a progressive condition, the prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. It primarily affects the legs although there can be some upperbody involvement in some individuals. [ipfs.io]

Prognosis [ edit ] Although HSP is a progressive condition, the prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. It primarily affects the legs although there can be some upperbody involvement in some individuals. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis: predicting symptoms and course of HSP As noted above, there is significant variation in HSP symptoms and their severity. This limits the certainty of making predictions. [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis This varies widely, but most often HSP is compatible with a normal life expectancy. The rate of progression varies considerably and is influenced by the mode of inheritance. [encyclopedia.com]

Accordingly, plasma oxysterols are biomarkers that should be included in the screening of any spastic paraplegia of unknown etiology. [oxfordmedicine.com]

Epidemiology Worldwide, the prevalence of all hereditary spastic paraplegias combined is estimated to be 2 to 6 in 100,000 people. [15] A Norwegian study of more than 2.5 million people published in March 2009 has found an HSP prevalence rate of 7.4/100,000 [ipfs.io]
