Paralysis Peripheral

Peripheral paralysis is a paralysis that affects the peripheral nerves and/or neuromuscular junctions. It is characterized by weakening or complete loss of motor function in the area of ​​innervation of the affected nerves.

The reasons for the development of peripheral paralysis are varied - nerve injuries, inflammatory and infectious diseases, intoxication, metabolic disorders, tumors, etc. Clinically manifested by flaccid paresis or paralysis in the area of ​​innervation of the affected nerves, muscle atrophy, and sensory disturbances.

For treatment, drug therapy, physiotherapeutic procedures, exercise therapy, massage, and sometimes surgical methods are used. The prognosis depends on the cause and extent of nerve damage. With timely treatment, complete or partial restoration of motor functions is possible.

Peripheral paralysis is also called atonic, atrophic or flaccid paralysis.

Peripheral nerve palsy (synonyms: peripheral sensory loss, atonic peripheral neuropathy) is a condition of the body when a peripheral nerve is unable to normally perform its functions, including the transmission of nerve impulses from the area controlled by this nerve to the brain.
