Hemiparesis refers to a moderate or incomplete weakness or reduction of strength on one side of the body. In contrast, hemiplegia denotes a severe or total loss of strength or paralysis on one side of the body. The primary distinction between these two conditions lies in their levels of severity.

Hemiparesis refers to the weakness or limited movement experienced on a single side of the body, which can significantly impede daily tasks such as eating or dressing. This one-sided weakness in areas such as the arms, hands, face, chest, legs, or feet can lead to difficulties with balance and stability.

Certainly, hemiparesis is prevalent among individuals who have survived a stroke. Approximately eight out of every ten stroke survivors encounter hemiparesis. Nonetheless, certain strokes or brain injuries can result in muscle weakness on the same side as the injury, known as ipsilateral hemiparesis.

Yes, hemiparesis is considered as a disability which is a one sided weakness. Though this is not as debilitating as paralysis it has quite similar effects on the body. Main cuases for hemiparesis include stroke and also few diseases like cerebral palsy, a few cancers, and multiple sclerosis.

Hemiparesis is most commonly caused by stroke, where specific body parts do not receive sufficient oxygen, resulting in cell death. When the regions associated with strength and movement are affected, it can lead to hemiparesis. Additionally, certain conditions like cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and certain cancers can also contribute to the development of hemiparesis.
