Description
Paralysis (PL: paralyses ; also known as plegia ) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles. Paralysis can also be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area if there is sensory damage. In the United States, roughly 1 in 50 people have been diagnosed with some form of permanent or transient paralysis. The word "paralysis" derives from the Greek παράλυσις, meaning "disabling of the nerves" from παρά ( para ) meaning "beside, by" and λύσις ( lysis ) meaning "making loose". A paralysis accompanied by involuntary tremors is usually called "palsy".
*[PL]: plural form
