A member asked:
What is functional paresis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Terminology: The term functional is sort of slang for "non-organic" and paresis refers to weakness, so the combination suggests non-neurological or untrue weakness and implies an underlying psychological or psychiatric causation.
