Paralysis results from nervous system malfunctions, affecting muscle control either partially or completely, with possible temporary or permanent outcomes. Common causes include strokes and multiple sclerosis, and paralysis can lead to various complications, including breathing difficulties and anxiety. While there is no cure for permanent paralysis, therapies like physical and occupational therapy, as well as emerging stem cell treatments, may improve function and quality of life.

1. Paralysis is caused by a malfunction of the nervous system. Nerves that are not
harmed provide signals to muscles. Muscles move as a result of these impulses.
You can't move specific areas of your body if you're paralyzed or have paralysis.
Some individuals are paralyzed for a short period of time before regaining partial
or complete movement. You will never restore muscle control if you are paralyzed
permanently. It is impossible to reverse the situation.
 Partial: You have partial control over some muscles though not all.
 Complete: You have no control over any of your muscles.
Any portion of the body might be affected by paralysis.
It could be:

2.  Flaccid: Your muscles get weak and shrink
 Spastic: The muscles tighten, creating twitches and spasms that are involuntary
The nervous system is the command and communication system of your body.
The brain sends signals throughout your body instructing it what to do. If the
nervous system is damaged, messages cannot reach the muscles. The most
common causes of paralysis are:
Stroke Multiple Sclerosis Cerebral Palsy
Based on the location of the injury in the neurological
system, paralysis can be divided into two types:
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Motor Neuron Disease (MND)

3. Several physiological processes, such as respiration and heart rate, might be
affected by paralysis. Other body systems in the affected area may also be harmed
by the condition. You may be at risk for the following conditions regardless of the
type of paralysis you have:
 Breathing difficulties, cough, and the possibility of pneumonia.
 Deep vein thrombosis and thrombosis (DVT).
 Communication or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
 Anxiety and panic attacks.
 Sexual troubles and erectile dysfunction.
 High blood pressure or low blood pressure can cause heart difficulties
 Failure of bowel control and bladder problems
Permanent paralysis does not have a cure. The spinal cord is incapable of self-
healing. Bell's palsy is a type of temporary paralysis that usually goes away
without therapy over time.
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can help paralyzed people improve
their function by providing exercises, adapting, and assistive technologies. Stem
Cell Therapy is an emerging alternative option for paralysis. People with various
types of paralysis can benefit from stem cell therapy, which can help them live
independently and have a better lifestyle.
