I am 46 year old female. My doctor said that my stroke has developed into hemiparesis. I was not so much aware about it so I checked on the internet about the disease. I found that there is another disease very similar to hemiparesis. So doctor please let me know what is the difference between hemiparesis and hemiplegia?
