Hemiplegia is a medical condition characterized by the paralysis of one side of the body. It often results from brain injuries, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury, affecting the areas that control movement. Individuals with hemiplegia may experience weakness, loss of coordination, and difficulty with daily activities on the affected side.
Treatment for hemiplegia typically includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes medication. These interventions aim to improve mobility, strength, and overall function. Early intervention is crucial for maximizing recovery and helping individuals regain independence in their lives.
