About this trial

Hereditary spastic paraparesis is a group of inherited neurological diseases. Only symptomatic treatments exist for the moment. The Modifspa study (cf citation) carried out by the team showed that patients perceived a feeling of effectiveness of physiotherapy on lower limb spasticity. The aim of the Walk-up study is to objectivize this feeling of efficacy on gait disorders in these patients.

This is an interventional study using physical training. The study is prospective, open, randomized in 2 parallel groups, one of which is a control group. Analyses will be comparative between the 2 groups during the course of the study.
