Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited disorders characterised by progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. This neurological condition leads to muscle stiffness and gait difficulties. Typically, the onset occurs in childhood or adulthood, and the severity varies among individuals. HSP primarily affects walking ability, without significantly impacting life expectancy.
