Paralysis

Paralysis: What is it?

Paralysis refers to temporary or permanent loss of voluntary muscle movement in a body part or region.

Types of paralysis include:

  • Monoplegia: This affects one area, such as one arm or leg.
  • Hemiplegia: This affects one arm and one leg on the same side of the body.
  • Paraplegia: Also called lower body paralysis, this affects both legs and sometimes the hips and organs in the lower abdomen.
  • Quadriplegia: This affects both arms and legs, and sometimes muscles in the trunk, the functions of internal organs, or both.
Symptoms

Symptoms vary, depending on the type and cause of the issue. The most common paralysis symptom is the loss of muscle function in one or more parts of the body.

Other symptoms that may accompany paralysis include:

  • numbness or pain in the affected muscles
  • muscle weakness
  • visible signs of muscle loss (muscle atrophy)
  • stiffness
  • involuntary spasms or twitches
