Locked-In Syndrome

Locked-in syndrome (LiS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by paralysis of voluntary muscles, except for those that control your vertical eye (up and down) movements. People with locked-in syndrome are conscious, alert and have their usual cognitive abilities (thinking and reasoning), but they’re unable to show facial expressions, speak or move.
