Abolition of function, whether complete or partial; esp., the loss of the power of voluntary motion, with or without that of sensation, in any part of the body; palsy. See Hemiplegia, and Paraplegia. Also used figuratively; as, paralysis of the will.
Complete or partial loss of controlled movement caused by in the inability to contract one or more muscles. Paralysis of one half of the body is called hemiplegia; paralysis of all four limbs and the trunk is called quadriplegia; paraplegia is paralysis of both legs and sometimes part of the trunk.
The loss of voluntary movement. A lesser degree of paralysis is technically paresis. However, in everyday usage paralysis is used to mean either partial or complete loss of voluntary movement mild degree of paralysis is often described by both physicians and patients as weakness.
Temporary or permanent loss of function or voluntary movement.
loss of the ability to move muscles or muscle groups; usually associated with serious neurological conditions or mechanical injury
The loss of voluntary motor control over a portion of the body.
(a) loss or impairment of the ability to move a body part, usually as a result of damage to a nerve supply. (b) loss of sensation over a region of the body.
An affliction in which abnormalities in the nervous system lead to partial or total loss of sensation in certain parts of the body. In cats, paralysis can be caused by calcium deficiency, which leads in turn to decalcification of the bones, fractures, a broken spinal column with lesions in the spinal cord, or by a cerebral haemorrhage. Immediate treatment is necessary.
The complete or incomplete loss of ability to control and move muscles.
Unable to move a group of muscles.
state of not having the ability to move or feel.
Complete or partial loss of feeling or movement.
Complete loss of the ability to control muscular activity in various locations.
loss of the ability to move Mississippi: Introducing the Watershed
temporary or permanent loss of feeling or ability to move.
partial or complete loss of body functions.
Total non-functioning of a muscle due to a lack or blockage of the nerve supply.
Loss of muscle function due to injury or disease of the nervous system.
when parts of a person's body feel numb and won't move properly.
Loss of voluntary movement in a muscle or muscle group; loss of function (paresis)
The inability to move a part of the body. Paresis is partial paralysis.
The inability to move a body part voluntarily
Loss or reduced function, e.g. inability to use a limb
you can't move until the potion wears off three turns later.
The loss of movement and/or sensation on the body.
Complete or partial loss of the ability to move a body part. Sensation in area may also be lost.
The inability to use a muscle because of injury to or disease of the nerves leading to the muscle.
Complete or partial loss of function especially when involving the motion or sensation in a part of the body.
Loss of the ability to move a muscle or loss of sensation, or both, usually as a result of damage to a muscle's nerve supply.
Inability to move the body or body parts due to effects of disease or toxicity.
Loss of voluntary movement (motor function). Paralysis that affects only one muscle or limb is partial paralysis, also known as palsy; paralysis of all muscles is total paralysis, as may occur in cases of botulism.
The loss of sensation and voluntary muscle movements. It may be temporary or permanent.
Complete or partial inability to move a part of the body.
Loss of voluntary movement (motor function); may be partial (palsy) or total.
A loss of sensation and/or muscle function caused by disease or injury to the nerves, brain, or spinal cord.
Total absence of voluntary movement in a muscle or set of muscles.
loss of nervous function to a part of the body.
the inability to control movement of a part of the body.
Paraparesis Paresis
loss or impairment of movement; in paralytic polio, a person’s limb muscles might not move, despite having feeling in the limb. Palsy is an old word for paralysis.
The loss of motor functions; the inability to move one´s muscles.
inability to willingly be able to move a muscle(s)
The inability to move part of the body. Flaccid, immovable limbs with little or no muscle tone indicate spinal injury. Spastic, stiff limbs, with tight muscle indicates inflammatory neurological disease or other neurological problem.
Loss or impairment of motor function.
Loss of ability of muscles to contract.
loss of muscle activity or movement
Complete or partial loss of function of a particular part of the body.
Loss of power or voluntary movement in a muscle through injury or disease of its nerve supply.
Muscle impairment or loss or muscle function that varies in its extent, its severity and the degree of spasticity or flaccidity.
The inability to move or function.
loss of ability to move or feel due to damage to the nervous system. Paralysis often affects the arms or legs. Can be due to severe brain damage.
Loss of ability to move all or part of the body.
Loss or impairment of muscle function.
Inability to move parts of the body.
Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups. Major causes are stroke, trauma, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), botulism, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Paralysis is most often caused by damage to the nervous system or brain, especially the spinal cord.
