**Book on "Spastic Hemiparesis" Below**
What is Spastic Hemiplegia/Hemiparesis? It is a type of cerebral palsy. Spastic Hemiplegia affects the entire one side of the body with the lack of use, and is normally identified within the arm and leg. This is NOT a progressive disorder. The term Hemi means half and plegia means paralysis. However, for Hemiparesis, Paresis means partial paralysis (weakness). It is weakness of the arm and leg on the same side of the body. Hemiplegia is more severe than hemiparesis. Spastic Hemiplegia/Hemiparesis is usually caused from an illness, stroke, or a spinal cord injury from birth but the most common cause is a stroke. Usually limbs on one side of the body are shortened, slightly deformed, and much thinner than the other normal side. Spasticity means stiffness in the muscles.
The most Common Signs and Symptoms of Spastic Hemipelgia/Hemiparesis
are:
stiffness of muscles
Difficulty with speech
Difficulty chewing food
Significant delay in standing, smiling, talking, and even
crawling
Behavior symptoms like anxiety, anger, and irritability
Coordination problems
The amount of
symptoms varies on each person who is affected by it but is usually mild or
severe. They will always have trouble through some mobility but can still lead
normal lives. Many children with this particular condition are generally slower
to develop physically. They may well be behind other children when it comes to
motor development. They often will start to walk on their tip toes caused by
tight tendons in the heel with slow pace. Walking with a slight limp is visible
and many will be required to wear a brace to help keep the foot on the ground
when walking. Because of abnormal deformities, many children may be required to
have a few orthopedic surgeries to help correct muscle deformities. With or
without any surgery, physical and even occupational therapy will always be
required throughout their lives on the affected muscles. Neurological treatments
like Botox injections can also help to ease (spastic muscles).
