Paralysis

Tips from survivors: “Even when it didn’t move, I kept including that side in therapy—it’s part of the journey back.”

Loss of the ability to move part of the body.

Inability to move an arm, leg, or side of the body, sometimes accompanied by loss of sensation or muscle control.

Stroke disrupts the brain signals that control voluntary movement.

Physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitation exercises, mobility aids, and long-term therapy to encourage recovery and adaptation.

Common in moderate to severe strokes, often affecting one side of the body.
