Monoplegia of lower limb affecting right nondominant side
ICD-10 G83.13 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of monoplegia of lower limb affecting right nondominant side.
Monoplegia of the lower limb affecting the right nondominant side is a neurological condition characterized by the paralysis of one limb, specifically the right leg, while the rest of the body remains unaffected. This condition often arises from damage to the brain or spinal cord, which can occur due to various factors such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cerebral palsy. In cases of cerebral palsy, monoplegia can result from abnormal brain development or injury during early development, leading to motor function impairments. Patients may experience significant mobility challenges, including difficulty walking, maintaining balance, and performing daily activities. Rehabilitation strategies often involve physical therapy to improve strength and coordination, as well as occupational therapy to enhance functional independence. Understanding the underlying cause of the monoplegia is crucial for effective management and treatment planning, as it can influence the prognosis and rehabilitation outcomes.
Detailed neurological examination findings, including motor function assessment and any imaging studies.
Patients presenting with unilateral weakness following a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Ensure clear documentation of the onset and progression of symptoms to support the diagnosis.
Comprehensive assessment of functional limitations and rehabilitation goals.
Patients undergoing rehabilitation for mobility impairments due to monoplegia.
Documenting the patient's response to therapy and any assistive devices used.
Used for rehabilitation of patients with monoplegia to improve strength and mobility.
Document the specific exercises performed and the patient's progress.
Physical therapy documentation should include functional goals and outcomes.
Monoplegia refers to paralysis affecting one limb, while hemiplegia involves paralysis of one side of the body, affecting both the upper and lower limbs.
