Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in one or more parts of the body due to damage to the nervous system. It can affect a specific area, such as an arm, leg, or one side of the body, or it may involve larger portions of the body. Paralysis often results from conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neurological disorders, or nerve damage.
