Hemiplegia Paralysis

Hemiplegia is a disabling disorder recognized by Paralysis on one side of the body caused by brain damage or spinal cord injury.

It causes muscle weakness, muscle control restrictions, and muscle stiffness. The severity of this type of Paralysis varies according to the location and nature of the injury.

Hemiplegia can be transitory (temporary) or permanent, depending on whatever the cause is. Some of these causes are curable or even reversible if treated promptly.

Signs and Symptoms directing to Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia can show its impact on either the left or right side. The damaged side of the brain creates symptoms on the opposing side of the body.

Depending on the degree and nature of Hemiplegia, people may have various symptoms. Paralysis doesn’t identify its victims by age – it can occur in adults and children alike.

And kids with Hemiplegia may or may not take more time to reach all the developmental milestones than their classmates and friends.

Not just that, they play with only one hand or hold one hand in a fist in the aftermath of the disease. Here are a few signs and symptoms that patients and their loved ones must be aware of:

  • One-sided muscle weakness or stiffness
  • Muscle spasticity or permanently tensed muscle
  • Inadequate motor skills (movement abilities)
  • Difficulty walking and weak balance
  • Difficulty in making a solid grip

And now, because the disease originates in the brain, it can leave behind some mental health complications that can be identified from the enlisted signs:

  • Sudden seizures
  • Loss of memory or spaced memory
  • Concentration obstacles
  • Changes in general behavior
  • Slurred speech
Hemiplegia Paralysis Causes

Hemiplegia occurs as a result of difficulties with the central nervous system (renowned as CNS). The brain and spinal cord are the two primary components of the central nervous system. Hemiplegia can be caused by a variety of conditions and events. Among them, enlisted are a few common causes:

  • Strokes are sometimes known as Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs)
  • Injuries sustained during birth or early childhood
  • Aneurysms and haemorrhages in the brain
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) and concussions
  • Bleeding between the layers of the brain (subdural hematomas or subarachnoid haemorrhages) or between the skull and the outer membrane of the brain (epidural hematomas)
  • Injuries to the spinal cord
  • Childhood alternating Hemiplegia – a congenital condition (something you have from birth)
  • Epilepsy and seizures
  • Migraine headaches (known as hemiplegic migraines when accompanied by Hemiplegia)
  • Tumors of the brain (cancer included.)
  • Nervous system illnesses, particularly autoimmune and inflammatory ailments
  • Infections of the neurological system, such as encephalitis, meningitis, or Ramsay Hunt syndrome
Time for medical help with “FAST”

Hemiplegia is a significant symptom of a brain stroke, a potentially fatal medical emergency. Remember to think “FAST” while recognizing the stroke symptoms (if any):

  • F – This indicates ‘face’. Request that the affected person smile. Look for any kind of drooping on either sides of the face, directing towards Paralysis (facial Hemiplegia) or any other muscle weakness.
  • A –The letter A stands for ‘arm’. A victim of brain stroke frequently develops muscle weakness and stiffness or Paralysis on one side. Request that they raise their arms. If they develop any new weakness or motor inability, one arm will remain higher while the other is comparatively low or does not rise.
  • S –The letter S stands for ‘speaking’. Strokes frequently cause people to lose their ability to talk. They may slur their speech, struggle to find the correct words, or cannot get words out of their mouth.
  • T –The letter T stands for ‘time’. It’s just a warning and a reminder that time is of the essence, so do not put off seeking assistance! Look at the time and try to remember when the symptoms begin. Telling a healthcare provider when the symptoms began will help them determine which therapy options are best and start the treatment immediately.
