Hemiplegia is paralysis affecting one side of the body, often caused by stroke, brain injury, or neurological disease. It results in weakness, loss of coordination, and difficulty with daily activities. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in recovery through neurorehabilitation, strengthening, balance training, and functional mobility exercises. Early, evidence-based care helps maximize independence, prevent complications, and improve long-term quality of life.
Causes of Hemiplegia:
- Stroke (most common cause)
- Traumatic brain injury
- Brain tumors or surgery
- Cerebral palsy (congenital hemiplegia)
- Infections affecting the brain (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis)
- Neurological conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
- Vascular malformations in the brain
Symptoms of Hemiplegia:
- Paralysis or severe weakness on one side of the body
- Loss of coordination and balance
- Difficulty walking or moving the affected arm/leg
- Speech and swallowing difficulties (in some cases)
- Muscle stiffness or spasticity
- Sensory loss (numbness, tingling)
- Reduced independence in daily activities
