Q. How can hemiparesis be diagnosed?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Hemiparesis can be diagnosed through a neurological exam. The doctor will test muscle strength and reflexes on one side of the body, since the paralysis is only on one side.
There are also tests that can help to determine the cause of hemiparesis, such as CT scans, MRIs, and blood tests. These tests can help to rule out conditions like stroke, tumor, or infection.
