ipsilateral

Ipsilateral refers to things located on the same side of the body or body part. For example, if a person has pain in their right arm and a doctor says the issue is ipsilateral to the injury, it means the problem is on the same side as the original injury. This term is commonly used in medicine to describe the location of symptoms, injuries, or neurological findings relative to each other on the same side. It helps healthcare professionals quickly understand and describe the spatial relationship within the body.
