What is meant by stupor?

Complete psychomotor inhibition combined with consciousness retention is stupor. In a catatonic state, the patient may adopt a statuesque posture or some other strange symbolic position, such as having their arms outstretched in the position of the cross. The patient in a stupor may be seated or lying motionless in bed.

Both stuttering and coma are clinical conditions in which individuals exhibit diminished responsiveness (or are unresponsive) to external stimulus and are either challenging to awaken or are unawakenable. "Unarousable unresponsiveness" is the definition of coma [1]. A patient that is awake has a typical level of arousal.

Stunted people are stiff, mute, and only appear to be conscious because their eyes are open and following nearby objects.
