'You would start to dress on the right side, & undress on the left side'.

As a former nurse and partner and carer to someone who has hemiparesis, it has always been the case that the weak arm is inserted into the sleeve first which allows more manoeuvrability of the clothing. It enables the disabled person to then help themselves by putting their head through neck of garment with support and finally the 'good' arm is able to be presented through the sleeve. There is more of the garment to facilitate this; if done the other way, the paralysed arm has to be made to fit into the sleeve whilst the garment is under tension.

Whilst this procedure is reversed to undress, in our case it is easier to withdraw the weak arm first for various reasons.

What is paralysis?

Paralysis is a general term that encompasses numeral medical conditions with inability to control muscle function (one or more muscles). In many cases the term is used for a flaccid paralysis of a limb or limbs. However, paralysis can be spastic (the paralyzed muscles are in the state of contraction and/or experience regular or irregular spasms). Nevertheless, all types of paralysis indicated loss of voluntary control over muscle(s). A medical condition with INCOMPLETE loss of control (diminished ability to control muscles remains) is called PARESIS. Examples of paralysis and paresis include: 1. Quadriplegia and Quadriparesis (loss of control of the muscles in all four limbs). In most cases, it is caused by a trauma or severe disease affecting the spinal cord on the cervical (neck) level or above; 2. Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis (loss of control of the muscles on one side of the body, e.g. left arm and left leg OR right arm and right leg). In most cases, it is caused by a stroke (bleeding or blockage in the brain) in the left or right hemisphere, where the opposite side of the body is affected. 3. Paraplegia and Paraparesis (loss of control of the muscles in both legs). In most cases, it is caused by a trauma or severe disease of the spinal cord in the thoracic (upper back) or lumbar (lower back) areas. 4. Facial paralysis and paresis (loss of control of the facial muscles). In most cases, it is caused by the damage to the facial nerve (one of the cranial nerves) or central nervous system due to trauma or disease. Most commonly, this condition affects only one side of the face, e.g. Bell's Palsy. There are many other types of pareses and paralyses, most well known of which is Cerebral palsy. This is just a general overview of the meaning of this medical term.


How would damage to the left bundle branch affect blood flow to the systemic circulation?

Damage to the left bundle branch would prevent the left ventricle from contracting as normal. The left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of the body minus the lungs, i.e. the systemic circuit.
