A general term most often used to describe severe or complete loss of muscle strength due to motor system disease from the level of the cerebral cortex to the muscle fiber. This term may also occasionally refer to a loss of sensory function. 344.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 344.9 contains 12 index entries View the ICD-9-CM Volume 1 344.* hierarchy  Index entries containing 344.9: Palsy (see also Paralysis) 344.9 atrophic diffuse 335.20 Bell's 351.0 newborn 767.5 birth 767.7 brachial plexus 353.0 fetus or newborn 767.6 brain -
