monoplegia

“Paralysis of a single member or a single group of muscles is known as monoplegia and results from injury to the motor center or to a nerve trunk leading to the part that is involved.”

Special Report on Diseases of the Horse

“It is not wonderful that symptoms of monoplegia and of limited anæsthesia should be made to disappear by suggestion, but the cure cannot be counted on in any given case, nor is it enduring when it does result.”

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7: Gregory XII-Infallability

“The paralysis may affect one side of the body -- _hemiplegia_, or both sides -- _diplegia_; less commonly one extremity alone is involved -- _monoplegia_.”

“In rare cases the whole motor area is destroyed -- _cortical hemiplegia_; more generally the lesion affects one or more groups of muscles, and occasionally all the muscles of one limb are paralysed -- _cortical monoplegia_.”

Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition.

“Particular groups of muscles on the side opposite to the lesion may first show spasmodic jerkings or spasms (unilateral monospasm), and later the same groups become paralysed (monoplegia).”
