Transcript

When half of the body does not work as a result of this sort of injury to the brain, this is referred to as Hemiplegia. Hemi being half. Plegia being inability to move. So half of the body has a decreased ability to move the way it should have normally because of the opposite side of the brain is no longer providing those functions.
