Children in Hemiplegia
What is hemiplegia?
Hemiplegia, also known as hemiplegic cerebral palsy when diagnosed in children, is a condition involving paralysis or partial paralysis of one side of the body. In child or infant hemiplegic cerebral palsy, there is damage to part of the brain and this may occur in utero, at birth, or later, as a result of accident, illness or pediatric stroke. Hemiplegia is sometimes known hemi paresis, meaning a partial paralysis of one side of the body.
Treatments for hemiplegic cerebral palsy are intended to improve strength and range of motion, prevent contractures, and increase function. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces or orthotics, Botulinum Toxin injections, electrical stimulation, medications, and surgery are some of the treatments received by children who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Children may also receive speech and language therapy and special educational services to help with learning differences.

Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke is the most common known cause of cerebral palsy in term and near-term infants. Arterial ischemia occurring during the 3 days surround birth is reported to be responsible for 50% to 70% of congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
