The onset of symptoms varies greatly; however, abnormalities in muscle tone and difficulty walking usually become noticeable in adolescence. Many features of spastic paraplegia type 11 are progressive. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

The primary symptom of HSP is difficulty walking due to weakness and tightness (spasticity) in the legs. Both legs are affected, usually to a relatively similar degree. The term “paraplegia” means severe weakness in both legs including paralysis. [rarediseases.org]

Progressive difficulty walking is the main problem and occurs due to taut and weak muscles. This manifests initially as stumbling, stubbing the toe, catching of the feet on uneven surfaces and sidewalks, clumsy gait, or difficulty with balance. [encyclopedia.com]

Most patients present with difficulty walking or gait disturbance, noticed either by themselves or a relative. In those with childhood onset, a delay in walking is not uncommon. [jnnp.bmj.com]

People with this form of spastic paraplegia can also experience numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs (sensory neuropathy); disturbance in the nerves used for muscle movement (motor neuropathy); intellectual disability; exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

Examination at the age of 22 years after a traffic accident revealed failure of abduction of the left eye, hyperreflexia in all four extremities and Babinski sign. [journals.plos.org]

Upper limb involvement is relatively uncommon and usually consists of mild hyperreflexia, which may be present early in the disease. A trace of terminal dysmetria may also be found in the upper limbs, but more florid cerebellar signs are not seen. [jnnp.bmj.com]

All of them started with symptoms consisting of gait difficulties and weakness in the lower extremities, and their neurologic examination showed an upper motor neuron syndrome predominantly in the lower extremities with weakness, spasticity and hyperreflexia [ajnr.org]

Diagnosis HSP is diagnosed by the following: 1) typical symptoms (lower extremity spastic weakness that may be non-worsening (early childhood onset) or slowly progressive over many years; 2) findings on neurologic examination (lower extremity hyperreflexia [rarediseases.org]
