Flaccid Paralysis

Flaccid Paralysis describes 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. This can result from diseases such a Polio and West Nile Virus as well as Neuromuscular diseases such as Myasthenia Gravis.

Sometimes when we block the blood flow to a part of our body the area grows numb and we can not move the muscles in that area until the blood flow returns. This is a flaccid symptom.
