A member asked:
Can you tell me examples of when does one get spastic paralysis vs flaccid paralysis please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cord vs root: In general spastic paralysis results from an injury to the spinal cord and flaccid paralysis after an injury downstream from the spinal cord, such as in the nerve root or peripheral nerve. The notable exception is in the early period after a spinal cord injury when there is "spinal shock" with flaccid paralysis.
