The term for total paralysis of one side of the body is hemiplegia, while a weakness on one side of the body is hemiparesis.
Hemiparesis: One-sided paralysis of the body.
Hemiplegia is the word for half paralysis.
False. Hemiplegia refers to total paralysis on one side of the body, typically affecting the arm and leg on that side. Total paralysis of the lower half of the body is known as paraplegia.
It is paralysis affecting only one side of the body

Yes, paralysis can occur on both sides of the body, a condition known as bilateral paralysis. This can happen due to various medical conditions, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries affecting both sides of the nervous system. In contrast, paralysis that affects only one side of the body is called hemiplegia. The specific cause and extent of paralysis can vary widely depending on the underlying condition.
The body's nervous system is affected by paralysis. There are different types of paralysis. These can range from either paralysis from the waist down, or paralysis from the neck down.

HEMIPLEGIA is a type of CEREBRAL PALSY that results from damage to the parts of the brain that control muscle movements. This damage may occur before, during or shortly after birth. The term HEMIPLEGIA means that the paralysis is on one side of the body. A similar medical term, HEMIPARESIS, means a weakness on one side of the body. In children with hemiplegia, the paralysis in the body occurs on the side opposite the affected part of the brain. For example, if the left side of the child's brain is injured, then the paralysis will be on the right side of the child's body. AL
Yes, Spina Bifida does not cause total body paralysis. Usually the paralysis is only in the feet and sometimes the legs. So the hands and arms will move just like any other baby's.
