About Paralysis Paralysis means the loss of muscle function and is usually accompanied by a sensory loss in the affected area. It’s usually caused by damage to the central nervous system especially the spinal cord. Causes include stroke, trauma, nerve damage, polio, multiple sclerosis, etc. Paralysis can occur either partially or fully. Paralysis of both arms and legs is called quadriplegia and lower half paralysis is called paraplegia. It happens because the brain can’t send messages to the different parts of the body for various reasons. If the nerve fibers are damaged the paralysis is usually irreversible. Causes of Paralysis Paralysis can happen for a number of reasons, but the most common causes are as follows: Stroke: Almost 30 percent of all paralyses are caused by stroke . It may due to the blood that flows to the brain get blocked, or a blood vessel inside the brain bursts.  Spinal cord injury: It is the second largest cause of paralysis after ...

After you leave the hospital , you can continue treatment at a rehab center or at home. However...

The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that travels from the bottom of the brain down your back. There are 31 pairs of nerves that leave the spinal cord and go to your arms, legs, chest and abdomen. These nerves allow your brain to give commands to your muscles and cause movements of your arms and legs. The spinal cord runs through the spinal canal. This canal is surrounded by the bones in your neck and back called vertebrae which make up your back bone. The vertebrae are divided into 7 neck (cervical) vertebrae, 12 chest (thoracic) vertebrae and 5 lower back (lumbar) vertebrae. The vertebrae help protect the spinal cord from injury.  The spinal cord is very sensitive to injury. Unlike other parts of your body, the spinal cord does not have the ability to repair itself if it is damaged. A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord either from trauma, loss of its normal blood supply, or compression from tumor or infection. Spinal cord injury can b...
