1) Neurologic causes of weakness and paralysis can arise from disorders of the upper motor neurons, lower motor neurons, neuromuscular junction, or muscle itself. 2) Upper motor neuron lesions cause spastic weakness of the extremities, with flexors more affected in the lower limbs and extensors in the upper limbs. Lower motor neuron disorders result in weakness that corresponds to the affected structure, such as distal predominance. 3) The pattern of weakness and presence of other signs such as tone cha
