Hemisensory Loss
Hemisensory loss refers to a condition where a person experiences a decrease or complete loss of sensation on one side of their body. This can affect touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception, which is the sense of body position. Hemisensory loss is often associated with neurological conditions, such as a stroke or brain injury, that impact the areas of the brain responsible for sensory processing.
The condition can lead to difficulties in daily activities, as individuals may struggle to feel sensations on the affected side. Treatment options may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation strategies to help improve sensory function and adapt to the changes in sensation.
