Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) is the most probable outcome of a stroke affecting the left hemisphere, as the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. Paraplegia and quadriplegia refer to paralysis of the lower limbs and all four limbs respectively, which are not likely to result from a left frontal lobe stroke. Cortical blindness is a rare condition resulting from damage to the visual cortex, which is not primarily located in the frontal lobe.
