Paralysis is the inability to perform voluntary physical movements due to the loss of muscle control. When an individual suffers a serious injury, there may be damage to the muscles or nervous system which may result in paralysis. There are different forms of paralysis that a person may experience which may affect one area of the body or the entire body. The following are different forms of paralysis:

• Diplegia – paralysis of the same body part on both sides of the body (paralysis of both arms or both legs)
• Hemiplegia – paralysis of one side of the body (either right or left side)
• Monoplegia – paralysis of one limb
• Paraplegia – partial of total paralysis of the legs
• Quadriplegia – paralysis of all four limbs (paralysis of both arms and legs)

Each year thousands of people in the United States experience spinal cord injuriesand become paralyzed due to serious accidents, many of which are work-related.
