Excerpt from Malarial Paralysis: Clinical Lecture Delivered at the Pennsylvania HospitalIn the next three weeks there was not much change in his condi tion. It may be thus summed up: He sits up in bed, can use his arms, though the muscular action is not strong, the grip of the hand is impaired, the right more than the left. When the fingers are extended there is marked rhythmical trembling in them, cramps occasionally occur in the muscles of the neck, especially on the right side. There is absolutely no power of mot-ion in the right leg slight power exists in the left leg, enabling him to lift it a few inches from the bed. Both knee-jerks are exaggerated, particularly the right, there is no ankle-clonus. The nutrition of the muscles is unimpaired, they are firm. The sensation in the legs is completely abolished. There is no rectal or bladder disturbance, the temperature is normal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
