Hemiparesis -
- Difficulties with motor skills, particularly standing.

- Pusher syndrome: a common byproduct of traumatic brain injuries, pusher syndrome causes a person with hemiparesis to shift their weight to the affected side, thereby undermining motor skills and making walking difficult and potentially painful. Doctors use a scale to assess the severity of pusher syndrome. This scale can help doctors make accurate prognostications, in addition to identifying the cause of symptoms.
- Strain on the unaffected side of the body, which may overcompensate for injuries on the hemiparetic side.
- Unusual sensations or tingling on the affected side.
