Why wouldn't it be good practice to move a stroke patient from the affected side?

Assisting a person with one-sided weakness or hemiparalysis is risky for a couple of reasons. First, stroke patients often have numbness or neglect on their affected side. (Neglect is basically the brain 'forgetting' about the body part affected.) This makes assisting the person difficult, at best. Secondly, if the affected side is severely weakened or paralyzed, the patient cannot use their 'good' side to any advantage unless you are on that side to help them maintain balance. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true!

"This is an area that has been static for 40 years, and febuxostat may represent a new option for treating these patients, particularly those with renal insufficiency."
