Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness.

The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
