Hello, my sister had a hemispherectomy at a young age. This is a surgery in where one of the 2 halves of the brain is removed or disconnected to treat seizures. People who receive this surgery at a young age adapt very well, but it can/will cause hemiparesis. This is the paralysis or weakness of one half of the body. Hemispherectomy patients can range from having no hemiparesis to severe hemiparesis. In my sister's case, her right arm is totally paralyzed, but everything else moves decently well. Her right leg is weaker but she is still able to walk.

I was wondering if there were any workouts designed for people who have hemiparesis?
