Detailed Description
This is a randomized single-center parallel study with a control group design. A blinded block randomization in groups of four was performed in equal parts toward the treatment (TPC) or the control (regular standard-of-care) group using randomization.com. Group assignment was kept in a closed envelope which was opened by the participant at the end of the baseline visit. Therefore both, the movement disorder specialist as well as the physiotherapist, were blinded to the randomization result for the baseline assessment up to the beginning of the first physiotherapy training session.
Therapeutic effects were evaluated at follow-up visits after 12 weeks (first visit, short-term effect) and after 26 weeks (second visit, long-term effect) comparing standard-of care with the TPC. Clinical evaluation is stated in detail below. Primary outcome assessment of this study was the change between baseline and follow-up assessment in treatment to control group in the spastic paraplegia rating scale (SPRS) score as a validated measure of disease severity (see Reference). Secondary outcome assessment was the change in walking distance in the Three-Minute-Walking test (3MW). Further exploratory outcome assessments were evaluated as effect sizes as specified below.

---|---|
Active Comparator: Tübingen physiotherapy concept
Will receive our therapy concept and perform self-trainings on a regular basis.
|
Will receive two trainings.
First training in week one after baseline assessment for three consecutive days 60 min twice daily by trained physiotherapists and in week three further two days with 60min once daily.
|
No Intervention: controls
Will receive standard-care which includes their regular physiotherapy as provided by the local therapist and can include self-trainings as well.
