Continuation of Rehabilitation Program for Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia, or paralysis on one side of the body, may be due to various causes, including stroke, tumor , trauma and other causes. It may be accompanied by language disorders depending on the affected cerebral hemisphere and limitations for basic activities of daily living, grooming, feeding and dress.
