| Definitions |
Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from bain diseases; spinal cord diseases; peripheral nerve diseases; neuromuscular diseases; or rarely muscular diseases. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper brainstem which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts. |
