Home exercise program shows promise for rare movement disorder
NCT ID NCT07561359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week strength and functional exercise program, done at home via video calls with a physiotherapist, can improve walking, balance, and daily life in people with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). Twenty participants aged 16 to 70 will each experience both the exercise program and a period without it. The exercises are tailored to each person's goals and abilities, focusing on leg strength and mobility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Individualized strength and functional exercises delivered via videoconference
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a safe, home-based exercise program to help people with HSP walk better and improve daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are done at home, so adherence and outcomes may vary.
