A member asked:
Is it your dominant side that is most often effected from a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dominant: No. Dominance refers to your "handedness". Most people are right handed, so a neurologist would describe those people as being "right-hand dominant". Your opposite side of your brain controls your motor activity, so a right-handed dominant patient would be "left-brain dominant".
