Presentation
HSP can be classified as pure or uncomplicated if no additional findings are present (2). Age of onset of HSP can range from early childhood to late adulthood. [dnatesting.uchicago.edu]
The age of onset and the presenting symptoms as well as the rate of progression varied in our family. [docplayer.net]
Muscle weakness when present is seen in iliopsoas, tibialis anterior and, to a lesser extent, the hamstrings. [jnnp.bmj.com]

Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are degenerative diseases of upper motor neurons characterized by a progressive spastic gait disorder which are phenotypically as well as genetically highly heterogeneous. [mdsabstracts.org]
Walking pattern described as “spastic gait” occurs in which the following elements are present, each to variable degree in different individuals: a) heel strike is shifted forward (landing on the mid-foot or even further forward on the balls of the feet [rarediseases.org]

- Tremor
Resting tremor, bradykinesia or slowed movement, and akinesia, an inability to initiate movement, are the key movement phenotypes. [hstalks.com]
Rarely, spastic paraplegia type 15 is associated with a group of movement abnormalities called parkinsonism, which includes tremors, rigidity, and unusually slow movement (bradykinesia). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
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]

For people with HSP who experience bladder control issues, treatment with oxybutynin might help to relieve bladder spasticity. [disabled-world.com]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Determining the molecular basis of disease using genetic testing can be useful in predicting prognosis and disease course, and can aid in identification of at-risk family members. [dnatesting.uchicago.edu]
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: 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 [ 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]
Etiology
Accordingly, plasma oxysterols are biomarkers that should be included in the screening of any spastic paraplegia of unknown etiology. [oxfordmedicine.com]
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Etiology HSP is a highly genetically heterogeneous group of disorders (4). 70-80% of HSP is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and the majority of dominant HSP is classified as uncomplicated or pure HSP (2). [dnatesting.uchicago.edu]
