Diaphragmatic palsy is a closely related term to diaphragmatic paralysis which should be ideally reserved for cases of paralysis which is accompanied by dysfunctional jerky type movements. Although sometimes stated in publication, the term "paralysis" is considered by many to be better where the term "palsy" is usually described with neural structures.
