Paralysis
What is Paralysis?
Paralysis is the loss of muscle function and sensation in a part of your body. It occurs when the vital communication link between your brain and your muscles is disrupted. This means that messages traveling along your nerves are blocked or damaged, preventing your brain from sending commands to make your muscles move. Paralysis can be partial (some control remains) or complete (no control), and temporary or permanent. It can affect a small, localized area (like your face) or be widespread, such as affecting one or all four limbs.
A paralysis diagnosis requires a specialist in the nervous system. Dr. Jitendra Kumar Nagar is an expert in diagnosing and managing paralysis, applying his deep practical experience to create a path toward recovery.
Causes and Associated Symptoms
Paralysis is not a disease itself, but a sign of severe damage to the nervous system. The cause is the event that damages the nerves, and the symptoms are the specific type and location of the paralysis that results. For example, a stroke (a cause) blocks blood flow to the brain, which can damage the motor cortex and lead to hemiplegia (a symptom), which is complete paralysis on one side of the body. Similarly, a spinal cord injury (a cause) can sever nerve pathways, leading to paraplegia (paralysis of the legs) or quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs).
Common Causes We Investigate:
Stroke: The most common cause, leading to a sudden loss of muscle control.
Spinal Cord Injury: Trauma from an accident, fall, or impact that severs or compresses the spinal cord.
Head Injury: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) that damages the brain’s motor control centers.
Brain Tumors: A growing tumor that presses on or destroys nerve tissue.
Medical Conditions: Diseases like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Guillain-Barré syndrome, or severe nerve infections.
