Crutch paralysis is a form of paralysis which can occur when either the radial nerve or part of the brachial plexus , containing various nerves that innervate sense and motor function to the arm and hand, is under constant pressure, such as by the use of a crutch. This can lead to paralysis of the muscles innervated by the compressed nerve. Generally, crutches that are not adjusted to the correct height can cause the radial nerve to be constantly pushed against the humerus bone. This can cause any muscle that is innervated by the radial nerve to become partially or fully paralyzed. An example of this is wrist drop, in which the fingers, hand, or wrist is cronically in a flexed position because the radial nerve cannot innervate the extensor muscles due to paralysis. This condition normally, like other injuries from compressed nerves, normally improves quickly through therapy. ref A System of medicine, Volume 1 edited by Thomas Clifford Allbutt ref ref Anatomy Physiology The Unity of Form and Function by Saladin 6th Edition ref See also Brachial plexus injury References Reflist External links cite web url http medical dictionary.thefreedictionary.com crutch paralysis title Crutch paralysis definition of crutch paralysis in the Medical dictionary by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia publisher Medical dictionary.thefreedictionary.com date accessdate 2011 12 04 cite web url http www.medilexicon.com medicaldictionary.php?t 65083 title Crutch Paralysis Medical Definition publisher Medilexicon.com date accessdate 2011 12 04 Categories Category Articles created via the Article Wizard Category Neurological disorders med stub ... more details

Laryngeal paralysis in animals is a condition in which the nerves and muscles that control the movements of one or both arytenoid cartilages of the larynx cease to function, and instead of opening during inspiration and closing during swallowing, the arytenoids remain stationary in a somewhat neutral position. Specifically, the muscle that causes abduction of the arytenoid cartilage, the cricoarytenoideus dorsalis muscle, ceases to function. This leads to inadequate ventilation during exercise and during thermoregulatory panting as well as incomplete protection of the airway during swallowing. Affected animals thus have reduced tolerance for exercise and heat and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Laryngeal paralysis is fairly common in large breed dog s and is rarely found in cat s.

unreferenced date March 2011 Flaccid paralysis is a term used in tactical shooting when a headshot is taken and the bullet enters the cranial cavity in the T zone . T zone shots are normally made in a situation where the suspect is armed and holding a hostage , usually at gun or knife point. The T zone is roughly a T shaped area from the outside of one eye socket to the outside of other eye socket and extending down the bridge of the nose to the upper lip. This area forms the T from which it derives its name. When the bullet enters the T zone, it strikes the medulla oblongata causing flaccid paralysis . The advantage of flaccid paralysis is the subject is rendered incapacitated instantaneously preventing involuntary muscle contraction that may pull the trigger or cause other movements that may injure or kill the hostage. This is a difficult shot even by the best marksman and should only be attempted by trained personnel.

The paralytic disease spread rapidly through a breeding colony as well as through a laboratory population causing about 95 mortality. This was the first recorded isolate of the virus ref Reinganum, C., O Loughlin, G. T. and Hogan, T.

Description The spheroidal, non enveloped virus particles of CrPV are about 27 nm diameter in negatively stained electron micrographs and contain a single piece of positive sense ssRNA. The virion is composed of 4 capsid proteins with molecular masses generally reported to be 33, 31 and 30 wikt kilodaltons kilodaltons with a minor VP4 protein of about 8 kDa.
