Hemiparesis, also called unilateral paresis, is the weakness of one entire side of the body (hemi- means "half"). Hemiplegia, in its most severe form, is the complete paralysis of one entire side of the body. Either hemiparesis or hemiplegia can result from a variety of medical causes, including congenital conditions, trauma, tumors, traumatic brain injury and stroke.[1]
