Paresis
This article is about the physical malady. For the mental disorder, see
general paresis. Paresis is a condition typified by partial loss of movement, or impaired movement. When used without qualifiers, it usually refers to the limbs, but it also can be used to describe the muscles of the
eyes and also the
stomach. Neurologists use the term paresis to describe weakness, and plegia to describe
paralysis in which all movement is lost.
