In
medicine,
monoplegia is a
paralysis of a single
limb, usually an arm. It is frequently associated with
cerebral palsy. This is the mildest form of cerebral palsy, and individuals with it generally have a good prognosis for later life. It can also be used if just one muscle group or muscle is affected. It is often thought as
hemiplegia with much less involvement of the other limb.
