Paralysis Treatment and Management!! Paralysis, in simple terms, is the loss of control over a muscle or group of muscles in the body. It can be gradual or sudden, partial or complete and temporary or permanent without any symptoms. A review of several studies found that Electrotherapy may help restore function in the paralyzed patients after SCI (Spinal Cord Injury). Electrical stimulation for stroke and paralytic patients offers a wide range of benefits that improves motor skills and reduces numbness. Here are the major stroke side effects where Electrotherapy has been proven helpful: 1. Hemiplegia (Post-Stroke Paralysis) 2. Hemiparesis (Partial Loss of Movement) 3. Spasticity and Gait (Walking) 4. Shoulder Subluxation and Pain
