		Monoplegia is a rare form of Cerebral Palsy that only effects one limb.
		Like Hemiplegia, care for a Monoplegia is not much different than care for a child without Cerebral Palsy.
		Although monoplegia is a mild form of CP, realistic expectations of a child's abilities are important.

		Monoplegia is a rare, type of Cerebral Palsy.
		The difficulties associated with this kind of Cerebral Palsy causes trauma to the brain and should not be confused with other types of disabilities caused by other nerve injury.
		Children with Monoplegia should be encouraged to use the full potential of their arm, but a child who cannot use or operate his fingers may never be able to achieve full function of them.

		Reviewing the past documents, the main signs and symptoms during the 1973 outbreak in Japan were HFMD with 24% of the victims complicated with infection of the central nerves.
		MRI discovered lesions at the left side of the poliomyelon at the end part of the myelon of thoracic spine which implied attack of virus (refer to pictures) and is in accordance to the clinical symptoms.
		The difference is it attacked one side of the myelon, thus is manifested by monoplegia.

	Cerebral Palsy Lawyer: Cerebral Palsy Types
		When describing a type of Cerebral Palsy, the movement classification and limbs affected are combined to tell which movement disorder is occurring along with what part of the body the movement disorder affects.
		If a child has Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy for example, this type of Cerebral Palsy is characterized by muscles that are stiff and tight with an increased resistance to being stretched that affect all four limbs, however, the legs are more affected than the arms.
		Monoplegia occurs when only one limb is affected which is usually an arm.

	Leg Monoparesis, Hemiparesis, Paraparesis, and Bilateral Arm Weakness
		Brain lesions that extend beyond the mesial aspect of the precentral gyrus, or the fibers from this region, are more likely to produce contralateral hemiparesis.
		Spastic leg monoplegia due to a lesion close to or in the cortex may be associated with seizures.
		Unilateral spinal cord lesions between the lower medulla and first thoracic segment (Figure 234.1 D) usually do not produce leg monoplegia (they usually produce hemiparesis unless small and strategically located because the leg and the arm fibers travel very close together).

	Arm
		The distinction between upper and lower motor neuron flaccid arm monoplegia may be difficult because the neurological manifestations are similar.
		The distinction relies on finding signs of central nervous system involvement suggesting an upper motor neuron lesion, or the typical arm posture characteristic of lower motor neuron lesion.
		If brain MRI is normal, we do an EMG of the affected arm and and MRI of the brachial plexus.

		When paralysis occurs, not only does it remove a person's ability to control their physical movement, it affects every single aspect of their life, causing financial difficulty, emotional stress, loss of enjoyment, and pain and suffering among others.
		When paraplegia or quadriplegia, monoplegia, diplegia or hemiplegia disabilities occur as a result of a medical negligence, the injured individual is entitled to receive compensation for their suffering and assistance with their future needs.
		In a medical context, paralysis can be inadvertently caused by operating errors during back surgery, mishandling medical instruments during surgery for scoliosis or other spinal conditions, inexperienced physicians, improperly administered anesthesia or medication, and others.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Paralysis
		Diplegia usually indicates brain damage, most often from cerebral palsy.
		Monoplegia may be caused by isolated damage to either the central or the peripheral nervous system.
		Weakness or paralysis that occurs only in the arms and legs may indicate demyelinating disease.

		In hemiplegia (20-30%), involvement is observed on 1 side of the body, including an arm and a leg.
		In monoplegia (rare), involvement is noted in 1 limb, either an arm or a leg; other causes should be ruled out.
		Pathophysiology: Cerebral palsy is caused by an insult to the immature brain at any time before birth up to the postnatal period.

		Or the damage can result in severe disability, the type most of us probably visualize when we think of cerebral palsy, such as spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
		Briefly, there are five major classifications, or types, of cerebral palsy that take into account the part of the body affected, quadriplegia, triplegia, diplegia (paraplegia), hemiplegia (hemiparesis), or monoplegia.
		The second part of the classification is based on the function of the muscles and the classifications are: spastic, athetoid, ataxic, or mixed.
