What else can I help you with?
After a stroke how can a doctor tell which hemisphere was affected?
If there is paralysis on the right side of the body then he will know that the left hemisphere was affected and trouble with the left side of the body means the right hemisphere is affected. The brain is cross wired!
Why did the right side of your face and your right hand go numb?
If your whole right side of the body is numb seek for a doctor immediately for this is one of the signs of a stroke. But if it's just your right side of the brain, still see a doctor right away!!
What are cause of right side hemphigia?
Right-sided hemiplegia is commonly caused by damage to the left side of the brain, often due to a stroke. Other potential causes include traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, or neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis. It typically leads to weakness or paralysis on the right side of the body.
When you are told that the right precentral gurus of your patients brain was destroyed in a stroke what part of the patient is unable to move Left or right side?
If the right precentral gyrus of the patient's brain was destroyed in a stroke, they would likely have difficulty moving the left side of their body. The precentral gyrus is responsible for controlling voluntary movements on the contralateral side of the body, meaning that damage to the right precentral gyrus would affect movements on the left side.
What precentral gyrus does a stroke effect if there is sensitivity in the right hand?
A stroke affecting the left precentral gyrus would likely lead to sensitivity issues in the right hand. The precentral gyrus is located in the primary motor cortex of the brain and controls voluntary movements on the opposite side of the body.
If someone had a stroke in his brain and couldn't use the muscle on the right side of the face which hemisphere of the brain had the stroke?
the Left Side.
Loss of movement in left arm after stroke?
the right side of your brain controls the movements of the left side of your body, and the left side of your brain controls the movements on the right side of your body. so if the left side of your brain is damaged during a stroke, it is possible for the left side of your body to suffer paralysis.http://www.brainaustralia.org.au/stroke/effects_of_stroke
What is the diffence between left side stroke and right side?
Right BrainThe effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including the location of the obstruction and how much brain tissue is affected. However, because one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body it affects. For example, if the stroke occurs in the brain's right side, the left side of the body (and the right side of the face) will be affected, which could produce any or all of the following:Paralysis on the left side of the bodyVision problemsQuick, inquisitive behavioral styleMemory lossLeft BrainIf the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following:Paralysis on the right side of the bodySpeech/language problemsSlow, cautious behavioral styleMemory loss
In what organ of the human body does a stroke occur?
ANY part ... up to and including the whole thing. (For what it is worth, my stroke affected only the sensory strip associated with my left side, thus the stroke occurred on the right side and slightly posterior to the vertical mid-line of my brain.)
How does stroke affect the body and what are the symptoms?
If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following: paralysis on the right side of the body; speech/language problems; slow, cautious behavioral style; memory loss. A stroke on the right side of the brain affects the left side of the body.
What happens to your brain when you cannot speak and move muscles on the right side of the body?
This is usually the result of a stroke, centered in the brain's left hemisphere (in general, the left side of the brain is responsible for the right side of the body, and vice versa).
Whatcan cause numbness on the right side of the face?
A stroke where the left side of the brain was blocked. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, so any damage to it would affect the right side of the body
What does a stroke do to your body?
A stroke actually does nothing to the body. It affects the brain by stopping blood flow from reaching areas of the brain. This can result in damage to nerve fibers and whole areas of the brain. If, as a result of stroke, there is damage to areas of the brain it may damage the ability of the brain to send messages to the body. Therefore, strokes can leave people with varying levels of disability. Damage to the right side of the brain will affect functioning on the left side of the body and vice versa. Additionally, language is primarily mediated by the left side of the brain. Therefore, someone who suffers a stroke on the left side of the brain may suffer from varying levels of language impairment. If someone suffers a stroke and loses the ability to control muscles, over time, lack of use of the muscles will result in atrophy. In this way strokes can have an indirect effect on more remote parts of the body.
Why do people get strokes?
A stroke happens when a blood clot, ruptured artery, or blood vessel interrupts the flow of blood to an area in the brain. The resulting lack of oxygen and glucose (sugar) flowing to the brain causes the death of brain cells which damages the brain. This can often cause an impairment in speech, movement, and memory.Ischemic stroke accounts for about 75% of all strokes. This occurs when a blood clot, cuts off the flow to a part of the brain. Blood clots can be formed anywhere in the body under the right conditions and travel to the brain over time if they don't dissolve.A hemorrhagic stroke happens as a result of a blood vessel on the brain's surface rupturing and filling the space between the brain and skull with blood (subarachnoid haemorrhage) or as a result of a defective artery in the brain bursting and filling the surrounding area of the brain with blood (cerebral haemorrhage)The end result with all of these conditions is that there is a lack of oxygen and glucose to the affected area of the brain which leads to the death of brain cells.
How does the brain help you?
the brain is a big muscle that controls the actions in your body. if you have a stroke, one side of the brain dies. the left side of the brain is the creative side and the right hand side is the logical side. if you are keft handed, you tend to be more creative than if you are right handed. if you are right handed, you tend to be more intelligent.
After a stroke failure to move the right arm would suggest damage to the lobe?
Damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, particularly in the motor cortex or related areas such as the frontal or parietal lobes, is likely responsible for the inability to move the right arm after a stroke. This is because the left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body.
After a stroke how can a doctor tell which hemisphere was affected?
If there is paralysis on the right side of the body then he will know that the left hemisphere was affected and trouble with the left side of the body means the right hemisphere is affected. The brain is cross wired!
