Flaccid paralysis

Flaccid paralysis is a condition where muscles become weak, limp, and unable to move. It occurs when nerves that control muscle movements are damaged or affected, preventing signals from reaching the muscles. This results in muscle weakness or complete paralysis in the affected areas. Flaccid paralysis can be caused by infections, nerve injuries, or neurological disorders. Unlike spastic paralysis, where muscles are stiff, flaccid paralysis leaves muscles soft and floppy. The condition can vary in severity and may be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying cause and the effectiveness of treatment.
