What is Paralysis?


Paralysis is the inability to move muscles on your own and with purpose. Paralysis can be a complete loss of movement known as plegia, or a significant weakness called paresis.

Paralysis is caused by injury or disease affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
which means that the nerve signals sent to the muscles is interrupted.





Disturbance in the pathways between the brain and the muscles means that the muscles are not given the instructions to move as they would do normally. Our specialist neurological physiotherapists at SMART PHYSIOCARE commonly treat people with partial or total paralysis of their upper and lower limbs and trunk due to neurological
conditions.

Some of the causes include:
  • • Spinal cord injury
  • • Head injury
  • • Stroke
  • • Multiple Sclerosis
  • • Motor neuron disease
  • • Spina Bifida

All individuals with paralysis will substantially benefit from a neurological physiotherapy assessment and treatment plan in order to improve muscle strength, increase the ability to carry out functional activities and to maximize overall quality of life.



Physiotherapy Rehabilitation treatment for paralysis will depend on:
  • • Whether the problem is central or peripheral
  • • The cause of the paralysis
  • • The extent of the damage
  • • The likely prognosis
  • • Other symptoms that are present
Following the assessment, there will be the opportunity to discuss your goals and expectations of paralysis rehabilitation treatment.

Physiotherapy treatment for paralysis may focus on:
  • • Muscle strengthening to reduce pain and stiffness and to prevent soft tissue contractures.
  • • Stretches to maintain muscle length and joint range of motion
  • • Core stability exercises
  • • Dynamic balance work
  • • Transfer practice (getting in and out of a wheelchair, bed, shower/bath, on and off the toilet).
  • • Re-education of walking pattern
  • • Sensory stimulation
  • • Facilitation of return to hobbies/driving/work
  • • Use of hydrotherapy pool to relieve stiff muscles, strengthen weak muscles and maximize mobility
  • • Functional electrical stimulation
  • • Provision of walking aids and equipment
  • • Career education
