According to the Rare disease organisation, Stiff-Persons Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and painful muscle spasms. If not left untreated SPS can cause difficulty in walking and affects an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks.
“Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare acquired neurological disorder that most often causes progressive muscle stiffness (rigidity) and repeated episodes of painful muscle spasms.
Muscular rigidity often fluctuates (i.e., grows worse and then improves) and usually occurs along with the muscle spasms. Spasms may occur randomly or can be triggered by a variety of different events or circumstances including a sudden noise, light physical contact or when exposed to cold. The severity and progression of SPS varies from one person to another.
If left untreated, SPS can potentially progress to cause difficulty walking and significantly impact a person’s ability to perform routine, daily tasks”, the rare diseases site read
