Limb Paralysis Intermittent

**Limb paralysis** is a condition in which one or more body segments become partially or completely paralyzed.

Paralysis of the limbs can be either temporary or permanent. Temporary limb paralysis is usually caused by injury or illness, such as epilepsy. Permanent paralysis is the result of diseases of the nervous system. Although temporary episodic occurrences of paralysis can result from other causes, this syndrome is widespread. It occurs infrequently, however, it requires treatment and close monitoring of the body’s condition.

Paralysis of the limbs can be caused by various factors, such as muscle and nerve injuries, infections, tumors and other diseases. However, the most common cause is **stroke**, which can lead to paralysis of the limbs. After a stroke, a person may experience poor coordination, decreased muscle strength, and numbness or decreased sensation in the arms and legs. Balance and walking problems may also occur.
