flaccid paresis/plegia
1 answer
Flaccid paresis/plegia refers to a condition in which there is a loss of muscle tone and weakness in the affected muscles, leading to difficulty or inability to move the affected body part. This can be caused by damage to the nerves that control muscle movement, such as in cases of spinal cord injury, stroke, or certain neurological conditions. Flaccid paresis/plegia is characterized by muscles that feel limp, flabby, and have reduced strength. Treatment for this condition may involve physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other interventions to help improve muscle strength and function.
