Early manifestations of spastic paraplegia

summary

In the early stage of paraplegia, for patients, it is mostly because the patients do not know whether there is any sign in advance, which may lead to paraplegia. For paraplegia, patients should pay more attention. Let's talk about the early performance of spastic paraplegia.

Early manifestations of spastic paraplegia

First, the onset age of HSP is mostly in childhood or adolescence, but it can also be seen in other age groups. Men are slightly more than women. There is often a positive family history. The clinical manifestations were slow progressive spastic muscle weakness of both lower limbs, increased muscle tension, hyperactivity of tendon reflex, clonus of knee and ankle, positive pathological signs and scissor like gait. It can be accompanied by optic atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, extrapyramidal symptoms, cerebellar ataxia, sensory disorders, dementia, mental retardation, deafness, muscular atrophy, autonomic nerve dysfunction, etc.

Second, spastic paraplegia is the main manifestation of spastic paraplegia, with genetic heterogeneity, autosomal dominant inheritance or autosomal recessive inheritance. The pathological changes are mainly in pyramidal tract degeneration of spinal cord, but the changes of spinocerebellar tract and posterior funiculus are not obvious. Dominant HSP can be divided into early-onset and late-onset according to age.

Third: paraplegia is a serious trauma. If the patients do not receive active rehabilitation treatment and proper care, they often die of serious complications or stay in bed for many years, and live a miserable life relying entirely on the help of others, which becomes a burden to the society. Therefore, in the treatment and nursing process of paraplegia patients, we should first focus on the prevention of complications, take the implementation and improvement of rehabilitation nursing, and reconstruct the limb function as soon as possible.
