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.
Muscle weakness can also be classified as either "proximal" or "distal" based on the location of the muscles that it affects. Proximal muscle weakness affects muscles closest to the body's midline, while distal muscle weakness affects muscles further out on the limbs. Proximal muscle weakness can be seen in Cushing's syndrome [18] and ...
Hemiparesis – The loss of function to only one side of the body; Triparesis – Three limbs. This can either mean both legs and one arm, both arms and a leg, or a combination of one arm, one leg, and face; Double hemiparesis – All four limbs are involved, but one side of the body is more affected than the other; Tetraparesis – All four limbs
However, some of these organs aren’t just found on the right side of the body—the pancreas, colon and kidneys could also cause pain in the center or left side of the body.
Explicitly, LGMD preferentially affects muscles of the hip girdle, thigh, shoulder girdle, and/or upper arm. [8] [6] The muscle weakness is generally symmetric. [11] Usually, the hip girdle is the first area to exhibit weakness, [2] manifesting as difficulty walking, going up and/or down stairs, rising from a chair, bending at the waist, or ...
Presents with myotonia (delayed relaxation of muscles), as well as muscle wasting and weakness. [24] Varies in severity and manifestations and affects many body systems in addition to skeletal muscles, including the heart, endocrine organs, and eyes.

Right-side chest pain may be a sign of something less worrisome, like muscle pain. Or it may indicate a more serious health problem related to the heart or lungs.
Its symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. The symptoms affect just one particular part of the body, depending on which nerve is affected. The diagnosis is largely clinical and can be confirmed with diagnostic nerve blocks. Occasionally imaging and electrophysiology studies aid in the diagnosis. Timely diagnosis is ...
