When a person is paralyzed on the right side of the body, it often indicates damage to the left hemisphere of the brain. This is because the brain's motor control for the body is contralateral, meaning that the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa. Damage can occur due to various causes, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological disorders. The specific area affected may include the motor cortex or pathways involved in motor function.

Why would someone not be paralyzed on the right side of face if they had a stroke that paralyzed the right side?

first, to answer this question one must understand what a stroke is. A stroke isa sudden atteck of weakness affecting one side of the body. It is the consequence interruption to blood flow to the brain and this can be due to so many conditions like trauma, thrombus or infection. Knowing that astroke affects the brain and the brain being the power house of the body means a lot. The brain contains two hemispheres the left and right and in must people the left is the dominant sphere. The left sphere powers the right side of the body and the right sphere powers the left side of the body(rigth handed people most times have left has dominant and vice versa). The brain can only suvive 5minute without oxygen suppy therefore any disease or tauma that can interrupt blood supply to the brain will cause damage to it which will ead to weakness or paralysis of the contralateral side depending on how severe the damage is. Most times the damage done on the dominant side affects the ipslateral side of the body.
