Paralysis DefinitionDefinitions of the different types of ParalysisDefinition of Flaccid FaralysisDescribes a condition in which people experience limp, floppy muscles that
lack firmness, due to lack of activity in these muscles. Voluntary control over these
muscles has been lost and they are unable to contract. Definition of Facial Nerve Paralysis:Loss of voluntary movement of the muscles on one side of the face due to abnormal
function of the facial nerve (also known as the 7th cranial nerve) which supplies those
muscles. Facial nerve paralysis is also called Bell's palsy.

To differentiate normal sleep paralysis and the disorder, the term for the sleep disorder is often referred to as awareness during sleep paralysis.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnapompic_paralysis Definition of Infantile Paralysis or PolioPoliomyelitis ("polio"), or infantile paralysis, is a viral paralytic
disease. The causative agent, a virus called poliovirus (PV), enters the body orally,
infecting the intestinal lining. It may proceed to the blood stream and into the central
nervous system causing muscle weakness and often paralysis. Definition of landry's paralysis or Guillan-BarreGuillain-Barre syndrome: a form of peripheral polyneuritis characterized by pain and
weakness and sometimes paralysis of the limbs; cause is unknown Definition of paralysis agitansAntiquated name for Parkinson's disease Definition of partial paralysisIt is only an impairment of the action of a muscle or a group of muscles (not a total
loss of function). Definitions of sleep paralysisSleep paralysis is a term either used to describe the normal paralysis of the body that
occurs during REM sleep, or the disorder in which awareness is maintained when the body
becomes paralysed when entering sleep (known as hypnogogic paralysis) or remains
inappropriately paralysed when awakening (known as hypnopompic paralysis). To
differentiate normal sleep paralysis and the disorder, the term for the sleep disorder is
