Loss of muscle function in the body is referred to as paralysis. Sometimes paralysis is transitory, and occasionally it is permanent. While paralysis can affect any portion of the body, the majority of cases are seen in the limbs.
Paralysis, both partial and total, can happen at any time. No pain is ever experienced by a patient who is paralysed when it first happens.
The treatment plan is designed to either cure or treat the condition, depending on the nature of the underlying cause, in order to prevent the patient's everyday lifestyle from being significantly impacted. The most frequent underlying cause of partial or total paralysis in a patient is a stroke. The patient is still in a state of partial paralysis
