| Abstract: | This article is a systematic review of non-pharmacological treatments for hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a neurological disorder characterized by lower extremity spasticity. The review explores various treatment options such as physiotherapy, surgery, electric stimulation therapy, magnetic field therapy, acupuncture, laser therapy, and stretching. The authors conducted a literature search and included studies that met specific criteria, resulting in a final selection of 13 articles. The findings suggest that physical therapy and electrical stimulation may have potential benefits for HSP patients, but more research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness of these treatments. The article also discusses the challenges in managing HSP and calls for a multidisciplinary approach to improve motor symptoms and quality of life for patients. [Extracted from the article] |
