Topic Flaccid Paralysis Topic Flaccid Paralysis

Objectives Defination Lower motor neuron lesion Symptoms

Defination: Flaccid paralysis is a paralysis that occur from lower motorneuron lesion Lower motor neuron lesion: Lower motorneuron lesion is a lesion that affects the nerve fibre travelling from ventral horn or anterior grey column of spinal cord to the relevant muscles. OR Destruction of motor which supply the muscles. It starts from anterior horn cell ends at the muscles.

Symptoms: Muscles are unable to contract Other symptom associated with infection from this neurotoxin include: Double vision Blurred vision Dry mouth Muscle weakness
