paralysis

Paralysis is the loss of the ability to move one or more parts of the body. It occurs when there is damage to the nervous system, affecting the signals sent from the brain to the muscles. This condition can be partial (weakness) or complete (no movement) and can be temporary or permanent. Causes include stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or certain diseases. Paralysis can affect any part of the body, and symptoms might include muscle weakness, spasms, or loss of sensation. Treatment focuses on rehabilitation and managing underlying causes to improve function and quality of life.
