Hemiplegia is the loss of use of one side of the body, usually following cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a brain injury. Hemiplegia is not caused by damage from a blood route. Hemiplegia results following brain injury (haemorragic or ischaemic) and thus the peripheral nervous system tracts which come from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) may be damaged, and in turn nerves that innervate specific muscles, joints, organs and other structures on one side of the the body may be damaged.
For example if a person incurs an insult to their left cerebral hemisphere in their brain, the motor and sensory tracts that run from the brain into the body - occur on the opposite side as they pass through the mid brain - and therefore this persons right side will be affected.
