A medical condition where difficulty in performing coordinated movements affects only one side of the body.
From Greek 'hemi-' (half) + 'dys-' (bad, difficult) + 'ergon' (work, action). The term literally means 'difficult work on one side' and describes motor impairment affecting only half the body.
Hemidysergia is related to the brain's incredible side-specialization—your left brain controls your right side and vice versa, so damage on one side creates these fascinatingly one-sided movement problems.
