nonparalytic
Without muscle paralysis
Nonparalytic describes conditions or cases that don't involve paralysis—the loss of muscle function.
The term appears most often in medical contexts, particularly distinguishing forms of polio: nonparalytic polio causes fever and stiffness but leaves muscle control intact, unlike the paralytic form that can cause permanent disability.
