Paretic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to paresis; affected with paresis.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In each patient, both the paretic and the nonparetic eye were used for fixation.
  • (2) In the acute stage (less than 5 days after onset) short and long latency responses on the paretic side were abnormal, being absent in all but one patient, in whom the short latency response was delayed.

  • (9) Modifications in the muscle may on very rare occasions be due to a paretic origin, but they can also be of innervational origin or stem from muscular modifications secondary to the innervational deviation.
  • (10) Fewer agonist events (p less than 0.05) and more antagonist events (p less than 0.10) were counted in paretic than in control muscles.
