Welcome to Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, Inc.

The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation is dedicated to advancing research and finding cures for two groups of closely related, rare, and progressive neurological disorders. They are Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS). These are neurological disorders affecting the voluntary muscles. The disorders are progressive and may lead to patients being unable to walk, and more.

The day when all individuals with HSP or PLS are diagnosed, treated, and cured.

    I've been dealing with HSP for a very long time. Then I joined a support group and I found the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation. Hopefully I can spread awareness and get others to join the Foundation.

Thank you to our generous sponsors.
