Paralysis
Numbness is loss of sensation, where paralysis is loss of sensation and movement. A person with paralysis has no muscle strength or control over a muscle group. It may be particularly evident when the numbness in the fingers is due to a stroke.
The loss of muscle function may be temporary or permanent, and it's unlikely an individual feels pain in the affected area. Tingling or numbing sensation may develop before total paralysis develops.
