Hemiparesis is a neurological condition characterized by weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body, often following a stroke, brain injury, or neurological disorder. It affects mobility, balance, and daily activities. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in restoring muscle strength, improving coordination, and enhancing independence through evidence-based rehabilitation techniques, functional training, and neuroplasticity-focused exercises.
Causes of Hemiparesis:
- Stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic)
- Traumatic brain injury
- Brain tumors or lesions
- Multiple sclerosis or other demyelinating diseases
- Cerebral palsy
- Infections affecting the brain (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Neurodegenerative disorders
Symptoms of Hemiparesis:
- Muscle weakness on one side of the body
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Limited arm and hand function
- Drooping of one side of the face
- Speech and swallowing difficulties (in some cases)
- Fatigue and reduced coordination
- Spasticity or increased muscle tone
- Reduced ability to perform daily activities independently
