Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Accident might have resulted in damage to specific area of the brain which is causing progressive decrease movement in half of the body. I would suggest you to consult a neurosurgeon. he will do "MRI Brain" to check if there is bleeding or any pathology and then start treatment according to the results.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health.
