Paralysis is a symptom of a problem, not a disease itself.
The underlying problem which causes it might be hereditary (genetic, such as an evolving case of multiple sclerosis). Or, of course paralysis can be caused by injury to the spinal cord. In this latter case, your preventative measures would be things like wearing a helmet when cycling. Genetic issues cannot be prevented.
