Hemiplegia is a one-sided paralysis that often results from a stroke or injury to the brain or spinal cord. It can affect movement and sensation on one side of the body. Hemiplegia is caused by damage to the motor areas of the brain, or the nerve pathways that control movement. It can cause partial or complete paralysis. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring motor function and improving quality of life.
