Hemiplegia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

• Hemiplegia affects one side of the body, including the arm, leg, and face.
• Hemiplegics may have difficulty moving and muscle tightness, the affected side may experience numbness or tingling and asymmetrical weakness may make walking and balancing difficult.
• Speech impairments occur when the brain's speech centres are damaged.
• Stroke,brain trauma, tumours, infections, and other brain illnesses.
• Spinal cord injury can cause one-sided paralysis and multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy also can cause hemiplegia.
• Physiotherapy: Hemiplegia management relies on physiotherapy. It improves affected-side muscular strength, range of motion, and functional mobility.
• Occupational therapy:  It helps people relearn abilities like dressing, eating, and grooming.
• Speech therapy: Speech therapists help with swallowing and communication.

Hemiplegia poses immense challenges and obstacles for patients, and specialized physiotherapy treatments can provide only aid and support to overcome these challenges with regard to mobility and restore a good quality of life. Therefore, at PhysiofyMe, we practice multi-disciplinary approaches, evidence-based techniques being the ultimate goal of all our treatments.

• Range-of-motion exercises: Gentle workouts keep muscles and joints flexible. Preventing stiffness and contractures in affected limbs is essential.
• Muscle Building:Targeted workouts strengthen affected and unaffected muscles. This improves posture and muscle strength.
• Functional Mobility Training: Physiotherapists improve daily function. Practise sitting, standing, walking, and changing surfaces.
• Gait Training: Hemiplegia recovery involves walking again. Using parallel bars or assistive gadgets, physiotherapists teach appropriate gait patterns.
