Other names: plegia

Signals to initiate and perform the movement originate in the brain, are reviewed using different paths connected to the cerebellum, the equilibrium organs, eyes and sensors in the muscles, tendons and bones. The final form of the signal is guided so. Motor nerve fibers from the spinal cord into specific muscles.

Although this statement is not generally an idea for a layman should simply be noted that movement disorder on one entire side of the body is most often the cause of the brain (traumatic conditions, stroke etc.) Or there is a partial spinal cord compression.

Decreased or disappeared momentum of both legs (along with impaired sensation) corresponds to interrupt or complete spinal cord compression (mostly injury with spinal injuries).

One limb movement disorder, inability to perform a particular movement or disability just some fingers may correspond oppression, inflammatory disability or accident interruption of specific peripheral nerves.

For completeness, it should be noted that the oppression of nerves, spinal cord or brain may be caused by a bone fragment, blood clots, tumor growth, local multiplication of connective tissue like.

Some nerves going near the surface of the body can be overcrowded with long-term improper body position (eg often. Disadvantageous position while sleeping drunk or overdose of drugs or narcotics) or it may cause malfunction by cold exposure (eg. By blowing them off while riding a motorcycle). In these latter problems occur within a few days to a spontaneous situation, possibly with a return of function supported fucked active substance.

On such a limited space it is not possible to enumerate all possible causes paralysis, which in itself is a very broad term. When problems with the movement of unknown origin is advisable to visit a neurological clinic.

If the paralysis preceded the accident or shows signs of a sick acute condition (disturbance of consciousness, vomiting and others) we prefer to summon an ambulance. If probable spine injury, with the patient until the arrival of paramedics do not move and fix it in position, which attracted an injury (unless required evacuation of the affected person from dangerous place or change of position for the start of the general resuscitation).
