General Paralysis

Generalized paralysis is the loss of strength and voluntary movement affecting a large part or all of the body. It can have very diverse origins, from injuries of the nervous system to diseases that affect the muscles or nerves.

Common symptoms: inability to move the limbs, widespread weakness, and sometimes difficulty breathing or swallowing depending on the areas affected.

When to seek care? The sudden or progressive onset of widespread weakness is a situation that requires immediate medical attention.

Which specialist treats it? In the critical phase, the specialist in critical care and intensive care medicine steps in, and the physical therapist supports the later rehabilitation. In the face of a significant loss of mobility, seeking care without delay is essential.
