Hemiplegia is not cerebral palsy and is a common clinical condition seen in a variety of disorders. Cerebral palsy is a disorder in which one type is hemiplegic. Therefore, the two concepts need to be differentiated.
Hemiplegia, also called hemiplegia, refers to the reduction or loss of motor function of the upper and lower limbs on one side of the body, i.e., the upper and lower limbs on the same side of the body, with decreased or absent muscle strength. Hemiplegia is the most common symptom of cerebrovascular lesions, such as stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, etc. When cerebrovascular lesions occur, the brain function will be damaged to varying degrees, resulting in restriction of the neurological function that innervates one side of the limb.
Cerebral palsy, also known as cerebral palsy, refers to non-progressive brain damage in infants and young children from before birth to one month after birth due to a variety of reasons, which can be manifested as congenital movement disorders and varying degrees of mental retardation.
Hemiplegia is the name of a symptom and cerebral palsy is the name of a disease, both related to brain damage, but not the same concept. There is a subtype of cerebral palsy called hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Hemiplegia is not cerebral palsy.
It is recommended to seek medical attention if any disease occurs.
