Hemiplegia is a medical condition characterized by the paralysis of one side of the body. It often results from brain injuries, strokes, or neurological disorders that affect the motor control areas of the brain. Individuals with hemiplegia may experience weakness, loss of coordination, and difficulty with movement on the affected side.
Treatment for hemiplegia typically involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes medication to manage symptoms. Rehabilitation aims to improve mobility, strength, and daily functioning, helping individuals regain as much independence as possible. Early intervention is crucial for better outcomes in recovery.
