Paralysis of individual muscles is not as frequent in the lower extremitiesas in the upper ; large groups of muscles (the anterior tibial, the posteriortibial) are often paralyzed together. Symmetrical palsies are common (in-volving thigh groups, both post-tibial groups, etc.). Complete paraplegia of the lower extremities is seen insome spinal and cerebral lesions ofchildren (spastic birth palsies, dor-sal myelitis (poliomyelitis and my-elitis), and in multiple neuritis. Pa-ralysis may be flaccid (spinal orperipheral) or spastic (cerebral, orspinal). If spinal and spastic, lesionis in lateral column. To test the exact extent of pa-ralysis, the child is to be placed on• its back ; if it does not move thelimbs at all voluntarily, suspicionof very great paralysis or of exces-sive pain is a safe one.
