Paralysis

Paralysis is when a part of your body can't move or feel anything even though you want it to move. It can happen to any part of your body, like your legs or your arms, or even your face. When someone is paralyzed, it means that their brain can't send messages to their muscles to move, so they can't do simple things like walking or talking. It can be caused by accidents, strokes, injuries, or diseases.
