- Both legs (paraplegia).
- Both arm and leg ( tetraplegia)
7. WHAT IS PARALYSIS ATTACK?
Paralysis is a state where the muscle of a certain body part loses sensation and its function. Paralysis is often a side effect of a stroke or a cancerous tumor pressing against the brain or spinal cord.

Facial paralysis can come on suddenly or happen gradually. Depending on the cause the paralysis might last for a short or extended period of time.
11. IS PARALYSIS GENETIC?
Paralysis is a rare disorder that causes sudden temporary attack of muscle weakness, stiffness, or paralysis. (PARALYSIS IS A GENETIC DISORDER PASSED DOWN FROM A PARENT) the inheritance is dominant, meaning you have a chance of getting it if ever one parent has the genetic defect for paralysis.
12. WHAT HAPPENS IN PARALYSIS?
Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of your body. It happens when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscle. It can be complete or partial. it may be one sided or both sided.

Yes, some patients that have a history of stroke can region some of the movement that they lost as a result of stroke through therapy and rehabilitation.

We can walk after paralysis but not properly but with the help of therapy, exercise rehab and medication but in case of spinal cord injury, there is a process involving implanting stems cell in the spinal cord to promote healing.
24. WHAT CHILDHOOD DISEASE CAUSE INFANTILE PARALYSIS?
– Polio
– Poliomyelitis; it mainly affects children under 5 year of age.
