Paralysis Care Center in Pune — Apricot Care
Patient-first neuro-rehabilitation in a calm, supportive setting
Paralysis changes daily life. It affects movement, mood, and identity. At Apricot Care, Pune, we treat the person, not just the condition. Our team builds a clear plan for you. We focus on safe mobility, communication, self-care skills, and emotional strength. You get steady guidance, honest goals, and compassionate care.
Understanding Paralysis
What it means and why it happens
Paralysis is the loss or reduction of voluntary muscle control. Signals between the brain, spinal cord, & muscles get disrupted. This can follow stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, infections, tumors, autoimmune disease, or genetic conditions. It may be temporary or long-term. Early assessment improves outcomes.
Understanding Paralysis
How Apricot Care supports you
We begin with a detailed neurological review, functional testing, and goal setting. Your plan covers movement, balance, hand function, speech or swallowing, continence, skin care, nutrition, and mental health. We update it as you progress.
Types of Paralysis
Clear terms, practical guidance
- Monoplegia affects one limb. It often follows localized nerve damage or stroke.
- Hemiplegia affects one side of the body. It is common after a stroke.
- Paraplegia affects both legs, sometimes the lower trunk. It usually follows spinal cord injury.
- Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia) impacts all four limbs & usually the trunk. Cervical cord injuries are typical causes.
Muscle tone patterns
- Flaccid paralysis presents with limp, weak muscles, and reduced reflexes.
- Spastic paralysis presents with stiffness, spasms, and brisk reflexes.
Understanding tone guides therapy choices, stretching plans, splinting, and medication needs.
Symptoms We Evaluate
More than weakness
- Loss of movement or precision.
- Changes in sensation, numbness, or tingling.
- Spasms, stiffness, or cramps.
- Swallowing or speech difficulty.
- Balance issues and falls.
- Bowel or bladder changes.
- Skin risk from pressure and reduced mobility.
- Energy, sleep, and mood changes.
Causes and Risk Factors
Why prevention and control matter
Causes include stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, MS, ALS, Guillain-Barré syndrome, infections, tumors, and genetic disorders.
Risks rise with high blood pressure, diabetes, vascular disease, smoking, alcohol misuse, trauma, certain medications, and age-related degeneration.
We help you reduce risks through medical control, safer movement, and lifestyle coaching.
How Do We Diagnose?
A thorough, stepwise pathway
Clinical assessment:
- History, strength, tone, reflexes, sensation, gait.
Occupational Therapy
Imaging:
- MRI or CT to visualize the brain and spine.
Electrodiagnostics:
- EMG and nerve conduction to map nerve and muscle function.
Electrodiagnostics:
- EMG and nerve conduction to map nerve and muscle function.
Blood tests:
- To check inflammation, infection, or metabolic issues.
Lumbar puncture:
- Is performed when specific conditions are suspected.
The aim is clarity:
- Define cause, map function, and plan targeted care.
