Essentially, the way I use it is if itâs a driving movement, ipsilateral produces the greatest power production and stability, meaning the right hand has the right leg back. Contralateral work provides the greatest reach potential for pulling, which means the right hand has the left leg forward or standing on. Funny enough, they both wind up being kind of the same position, which makes it that much easier.
Crude touch, pain and temperature fibers are carried in the spinothalamic tract. These fibers decussate at the level of the spinal cord. Therefore, a hemi-section lesion to the spinal cord will demonstrate loss of these modalities on the contralateral side of the lesion, while preserving them on the ipsilateral side.t is diagnosed by finding motor (muscle) paralysis on the same (ipsilateral) side as the lesion and deficits in pain and temperature sensation on the opposite (contralateral) side. This is called ipsilateral hemiplegia and contralateral pain and temperature sensation deficits.
