Homonym: paralyzed (Immobility)
"Paralyzed" refers to a condition where a person loses the ability to move part or all of their body. This can happen due to damage to the nervous system, such as from a spinal cord injury, stroke, or certain diseases. The severity of paralysis can vary, affecting only a small area or the entire body.
There are different types of paralysis, including quadriplegia, which affects all four limbs, and paraplegia, which affects the lower body. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, and assistive devices to help individuals regain some function or adapt to their condition.
