limpness

Examples of limpness in the following topics:

• Deviance and Social Stigma

  • For example, Terry might be stigmatized because she has a limp.
  • Stigma attaches to Terry because of her limp, overpowering the ways in which Terry might be social normative–perhaps she is a white, Protestant, or a heterosexual female with a limp.
  • The limp marks Terry, despite her other traits.

• Vaccine Safety

  • Most developed countries have switched to the inactivated polio vaccine and stopped using whole-cell pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines, which are made from killed bacteria and cause relatively high rates of arm swelling, febrile convulsions and periods of limpness or unresponsiveness.

• Hypotonia and Hypertonia

  • Examination will reveal a decreased resistance to passive movement, and muscles may feel abnormally soft and limp on palpation (diminished deep tendon reflexes also may be noted).
