The are well defined clinical entities of neuropathy that predominantly affects motor nerves without much of a sensory involvement.
The most well defined are the acute and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies (AIDP %26amp; CIDP). The acute form is also known as Guillain Barre Syndrome.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and other Hereditary Sensonary Motor Neuropathies (HSMN) often have a predominantly motor involvement.
Other 'neuropathies' that can sometimes have mainly motor nerve involvement include diabetes, heavy metal poisoning, and hypothyroidism.Explain how paralysis or loss of motor control of the legs can occur without a loss of sensation?
The spinal nerves control muscle movement, you have a separate nervous system for sensation.
