Summary of article contents:
Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis is a group of hereditary ataxic disorders; Symptoms usually begin in the third or fourth decade, presenting as progressive spastic weakness beginning in the distal lower extremities. The two genes, spastin and alastin has been identified as the defective gene in causing HSP. In hereditary ataxias, an autosomal recessive inheritance is characterised by several affected members in one generation with healthy parents. Presence of consanguinity in parents strongly favours such inheritance. Typically these disorders manifest in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. However a negative family history does not always rule out a hereditary disorder This article explains how this disorder begins, how it is managed in Ayurveda by taking the help of the PANCHAKARMA procedures such as Basti, Abhyanga etc. Keywords: Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis, Abhyanga, Basti, Nasya How to cite this URL
