What is the opposite side?
An "opposite side" depends on the shape that you have got. For a polygon with an even number of sides, (say 2n), the side which is opposite a given side is one that is nth from that side. In such a polygon a vertex does not have an opposite side. For a polygon with an odd number of sides, (say 2n+1), the side which is opposite a given vertex is one that is (n+1)th from that vertex. In such a polygon a side does not have an opposite side.

A line through the vertex and the side opposite - nothing more. There need not even be a side opposite - as is the case with a square!
What type of paralysis is associated with polio?
Paralysis is usually asymmetric; that is, it affects only one side of the body. The paralyzed limbs retain their ability to feel. When the muscles of respiration are affected, the patient may need to be put on a mechanical ventilator.
Why wouldn't it be good practice to move a stroke patient from the affected side?
Assisting a person with one-sided weakness or hemiparalysis is risky for a couple of reasons. First, stroke patients often have numbness or neglect on their affected side. (Neglect is basically the brain 'forgetting' about the body part affected.) This makes assisting the person difficult, at best. Secondly, if the affected side is severely weakened or paralyzed, the patient cannot use their 'good' side to any advantage unless you are on that side to help them maintain balance. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true!
What does contralateral mena?

Why is the left side affected after a brain hemorrhage on the right side?
due to the crossing of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord that cross from left side to right side. For example, motor nerves leaving the brain on the left side will decussate (cross from one side to the other) in the spinal cord so that when they leave the spinal cord, they flow out to muscles on the opposite side of the body.
After a stroke how can a doctor tell which hemisphere was affected?
If there is paralysis on the right side of the body then he will know that the left hemisphere was affected and trouble with the left side of the body means the right hemisphere is affected. The brain is cross wired!
What is the diffence between left side stroke and right side?
Right BrainThe effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including the location of the obstruction and how much brain tissue is affected. However, because one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body it affects. For example, if the stroke occurs in the brain's right side, the left side of the body (and the right side of the face) will be affected, which could produce any or all of the following:Paralysis on the left side of the bodyVision problemsQuick, inquisitive behavioral styleMemory lossLeft BrainIf the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following:Paralysis on the right side of the bodySpeech/language problemsSlow, cautious behavioral styleMemory loss
