Stroke survivors with right-brain injuries frequently have speech and communication problems. Many of these individuals have a hard time pronouncing speech sounds properly because of the weakness or lack of control in the muscles on the left side of the mouth and face. This is called “dysarthria.”
Which side of the body is worse to have a stroke?
The terms Left Brain Stroke and Right Brain Stroke refer to the side of the brain where the obstruction causing the stroke occurs. There is not a worse or better side to have a stroke on as both sides control many important functions, but a more severe stroke will result in amplified effects.
What are the symptoms of a right sided stroke?
- Muscle weakness on the left side of the body.
- Vision problems, including problems seeing from the left side of each eye.
- Hearing problems.
- Sensory changes on the left side of the body.
- Problems with depth perception or directions.
- Problems with balance.
- A feeling of spinning when a person is still.
- Memory problems.
