Effects of progressive supra nuclear palsy

Progressive supranuclear palsy (SPS) is a neurological condition that causes a variety of symptoms due to its effect on different nerve cells in the brain. These symptoms are likely to change and get worse over time due the progressive nature of SPS. Neurological physiotherapy will help to reduce or alleviate some of the physical symptoms of SPS through exercise and education. Some of the symptoms of SPS may include:

Loss of balance when standing
Lunging forward when walking
Bumping into obstacles when walking
Unsteady walking pattern
Slowness of movement patterns
Falls
Tremor
Stiffness when moving limbs and neck
Difficulty moving eyes, especially up and down
Difficulty sleeping, swallowing and speaking
Forgetfulness and personality changes

At Manchester Neuro Physio, we understand that it can be difficult to come to terms with the diagnosis of a progressive neurological condition. We are here to offer practical advice, support and exercise programs which will alleviate your difficulties and improve your overall quality of life.

Your neurological physiotherapist will show you how to avoid trips and falls and provide walking aids to increase your balance and confidence when moving around. Strengthening exercises will help to increase your muscle strength and enable you to carry out everyday activities with less effort.
