Diagnosis

If it is not a full paralysis, how is it diagnosed? Is it visible on MRI images of the spinal cord? Can a computer analysis of limb movement detect it? Helenetoile (talk) 05:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Helene[reply]

A -paresis or -plegia is clincal diagnosis of limb weakness, not necessarily full paralysis. MRI is a diagnostic tool for the cause of weakness - it will not show weakness. 'Computer analysis of limb movement' sounds hopelessly complicated for something any junior doctor should be able the diagnose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.83.156 (talk) 00:34, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
