Short Stature
Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Wheelchair Bound
The majority of children become non-ambulatory and usually wheelchair bound. Over time spasticity progresses to involve the upper extremities, resulting in a spastic tetraplegia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thereafter, his ataxic gait progressed slowly, and he became wheelchair bound at age 52. At his latest visit at age 74, his mini-mental state examination score was 30. He had no optic nerve atrophy, ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus or blepharoptosis. [nature.com]
She became wheelchair bound from the age of 43 years. Examination at the age of 63 years showed severe cerebellar ataxia in truncus and extremities. [journals.plos.org]
A characteristic feature of HSP, which has been stressed by several authors, is the marked discrepancy between the often severe spasticity and only mild or absent muscle weakness. 8 14 This is demonstrated by the patient with HSP who is wheelchair bound [jnnp.bmj.com]

Developmental Delay
All have global developmental delay. Speech development is significantly impaired and many affected individuals remain nonverbal. Intellectual disability in older children is usually moderate to severe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Postnatal features include severe developmental delay, congenital cataracts (in some), and marked UV sensitivity of the skin. Survival beyond 6 years of age is rare. [mendelian.co]

Workup
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]

It is not in any way intended to be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or care. Our staff consists of biologists and biochemists that are not trained to give medical advice . [uniprot.org]

There are no specific treatments to prevent HSP. Management consists of symptomatic treatment and regular physical therapy to strengthen muscles. [cags.org.ae]
Prognosis
PMID: 16672289 Prognosis Pearce DA Hum Genet 1999 Jun;104(6):443-8. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Classifying HSP as uncomplicated or complicated is also important for prognosis. Families with “uncomplicated” HSP (e.g., HSP caused by SPG4 /spastin gene mutation) are not at risk of having offspring with “complicated” HSP. [neupsykey.com]
This distinction is important for genetic counseling of family members and for the patient’s prognosis, in that HSP generally carries a more favorable prognosis. [2] Other components of the differential diagnosis of HSP are similar to those of PLS. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Disorders, the prognosis of which differs significantly from HSP, such as multiple sclerosis and familial motor neuron disease should also be excluded. The necessity for investigations will vary depending on the individual clinical picture. [jnnp.bmj.com]
