Contralateral hemiparesis is weakness on one side of the body,caused by an injury to the other side of the brain. Since eachhemisphere of the brain controls the opposite side …of the body, aninjury to the left hemisphere may cause problems on the right sideof the body and vice versa. (MORE)
A contralateral response is when a stimulus is sensed on one side of the spinal column, but the response and effectors of that stimulus occur on the opposite side of the spina…l column.

The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee st…imulus, the response would be considered contralateral. (MORE)

Contralateral neglect is a disturbance of the patient's ability to respond to stimuli on the side of the body opposite (contralateral) to the side of brain lesion, in the abse…nce of simple sensory or motor deficits. Patients with contralateral neglect often behave as though the left side of their world does not exist and they often fail to appreciate that they have a problem. The disturbance is often associated with large lesions of the right posterior parietal lobe. In one example, Mrs. T acquired contralateral neglect following a massive stroke in the posterior portion of her right hemisphere. (MORE)
Right half of the brain control left half of the body, while left half of the brain control right half of the body. This working pattern is called contralateral control.
