unparalyzed

Free to move

Unparalyzed describes someone or something not affected by paralysis—able to move and function normally.

The term appears most often in medical contexts distinguishing affected from unaffected limbs or body parts: The unparalyzed side of her face moved normally.

Figuratively, it can mean not frozen by fear or indecision: He remained unparalyzed by the crisis and acted quickly.
