Paralysis can be defined as the permanent or temporary loss of voluntary muscle movement. It is mainly caused by a disease that causes changes in the makeup of the nervous or muscular system. Paralysis is caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and also multiple sclerosis.

The symptoms include stiffness, involuntary spasms, muscle weakness, etc. Paralysis affects the brain; when a nerve of the brain is damaged, paralysis can occur, which can be temporary, permanent, complete; such a person treatment should range from physical therapy to adaptive technology.

Lastly, paralysis does affect not only the brain but also the spinal cord and nerves, and the food intake of a patient should be paid attention to.

The correct answer to this question is Yes. Paralysis affects many portions of the body, including the brain. The brain is the most affected part of the body from the condition. Other parts of the body that are affected by paralysis are the spinal cord and the nerves. To help prevent this condition, people can pay close attention to the foods that they intake. For those with acute symptoms, they should stay away from lychee and ackee, which are two foods that have been proven to bring on the condition. Those with the crippling condition can blame foods like cassava.

Paralysis can affect different parts of the body. The most common parts that are affected are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. When these parts of the body are damaged, the signals will not be able to pass through the muscles. There are different treatments that are available for people who may have damaged body parts. Some would use physical therapy while there are also others who would use adaptive technology in order to cope with what has happened. Paralysis can become temporary or permanent depending on the type of paralysis that has befallen the person.
