PALSY. ParalysisCategory: Diseases of The Nervous System A loss of movement, entire or partial, in the voluntary muscles of the body. When this loss of power is complete it is called paralysis; when it is not complete, paresis. Causes. Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, tumors in these parts, accidents and injuries, poisons, apoplexy, etc. Symptoms. The patient cannot make all the usual motions of the part. The affected muscles may waste after a time. Different Varieties. (a) Paralysis of the ocular (eye) muscles. The vision becomes double, the eyelids do not act normally, may droop. The eye may not move in every direction as it should. (b) Paralysis of the muscles of mastication (eating). Symptoms. If paralysis is only on one side, it is difficult to chew; if on both sides, chewing is impossible. The jaw hangs down. (c) Paralysis of the facial (face) muscle.

(d) Paralysis of the muscles of the upper extremity. There are various and many symptoms, but with all there is the same loss of the usual motion. That particular muscle does not do its special work; for instance, if the paralysis is of the deltoid muscle of the arm and shoulder, it is not possible to raise the arm, usually pain in the shoulder. The muscle soon wastes and the head of the arm bone (humerus) falls away from the shoulder, etc. (e) Paralysis of the muscles of the lower extremities. Paralysis of the "Gluteus Maximus and Minimus."
