Limb weakness

Limb weakness refers to a reduced ability to move or exert strength in the arms or legs. It can result from various conditions affecting nerves, muscles, or the brain, such as stroke, nerve injury, or neurological disorders. People with limb weakness may experience difficulty lifting objects, walking, or coordinating movements. It's often accompanied by other symptoms like numbness or tingling. The severity and causes vary widely, so identifying the underlying reason is important for appropriate treatment. If limb weakness appears suddenly or worsens quickly, immediate medical attention is necessary.
