Paralysis can be: partial where there is some muscle function and sensation; for example, if a person can move one leg but not the other, or feel sensations such as cold and heat complete where there is complete loss of muscle function and sensation in affected limbs. Paralysis can be: spastic where muscles in affected limbs are unusually stiff or display spasms, and movements are not under the control of the individual (read about spastic paraplegia) flaccid where muscles in affected limbs are floppy and weak; muscles in flaccid paralysis may shrivel.
