On the other hand, paresis is when the spinal cord is compressed and part of its function is paralyzed. Paresis, unlike complete paralysis, leaves many physical functions that can be moved.
When the spinal cord is injured, the rehabilitation training method and rehabilitation equipment used differ depending on the type of physical paralysis, and what can be done also changes.
