Monoplegia, unspecified affecting right nondominant side
ICD-10 G83.33 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of monoplegia, unspecified affecting right nondominant side.
Monoplegia refers to paralysis affecting a single limb, in this case, the right nondominant side of the body. This condition can arise from various neurological disorders, including cerebral palsy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. In patients with cerebral palsy, monoplegia may result from damage to the motor cortex during fetal development or early infancy, leading to impaired motor function in the affected limb. The right nondominant side typically refers to the limb that is not primarily used for tasks, which can complicate rehabilitation efforts. Patients may experience significant mobility impairments, affecting their ability to perform daily activities independently. Treatment often involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes surgical interventions to improve function and mobility. Understanding the underlying cause of the monoplegia is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation strategies.
Detailed neurological examination findings, including motor function assessments and imaging results.
Patients presenting with unilateral weakness post-stroke or those diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Ensure clear documentation of the affected side and any associated neurological deficits.
Therapy progress notes detailing functional assessments and treatment plans.
Rehabilitation of patients with monoplegia to improve mobility and independence.
Document specific goals and outcomes related to the affected limb.
Used for rehabilitation of patients with monoplegia to improve strength and mobility.
Document specific exercises performed and progress made.
Physical therapy notes should detail the patient's response to therapy.
Monoplegia refers to paralysis affecting only one limb, while hemiplegia affects both the arm and leg on one side of the body.
