Restrictions often are temporary, but they also can be permanent, such as in the case of paralysis due to a spinal cord injury; as a result of this injury, you would be restricted from walking. Limitations, on the other hand, do not prevent you from performing an activity.

Limits define the boundaries or extents to which something can go, often in a physical, quantitative, or conceptual sense. Restrictions, however, are conditions or rules imposed to control or regulate actions or activities.
