Monoplegia, unspecified affecting left dominant side
ICD-10 G83.32 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of monoplegia, unspecified affecting left dominant side.
Monoplegia refers to paralysis affecting a single limb, in this case, the left side of a person who is left-dominant. This condition can arise from various neurological disorders, including cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. In individuals with cerebral palsy, monoplegia may result from abnormal brain development or injury during early development, leading to motor function impairment. Patients may experience significant mobility challenges, affecting their ability to perform daily activities. The left dominant side being affected can lead to difficulties in tasks that require fine motor skills, such as writing or using utensils. Rehabilitation strategies often include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and assistive devices to enhance mobility and independence. Understanding the underlying cause of the monoplegia is crucial for effective management and treatment planning.
Detailed neurological examination findings, including motor function assessments and diagnostic imaging results.
Patients presenting with sudden onset of weakness or paralysis, follow-up visits for rehabilitation progress.
Ensure clear documentation of the neurological assessment and any imaging studies that support the diagnosis.
Comprehensive rehabilitation plans, therapy progress notes, and functional assessments.
Patients undergoing rehabilitation for mobility impairments, assessments for assistive devices.
Document specific functional limitations and goals for therapy to support the need for ongoing rehabilitation.
Used for patients undergoing rehabilitation for mobility impairments due to monoplegia.
Document the specific exercises performed and the patient's response.
Physical therapy notes should detail progress and functional improvements.
Monoplegia refers to paralysis affecting a single limb, while hemiplegia affects both the upper and lower limbs on one side of the body.
