What Leads To Loss Of Motor Control In The Right Arm?

My husband is experiencing loss of motor control of his right arm and hand. He also periodically loses control of his left leg. He has random tingling sensations in his right arm and upper right abdomen (just below the right breast). The symptoms have become more severe over the past few weeks.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
here as per my opinion you need to have proper health check and do the needed tests to. he may need to do scan for neck as well as back if he has problem with arm as well as leg,
one more thing to understand is if there is no headache, weakness in legs and arm, and balance , coordination problem then it can not be related to stroke or brain issues.
as you have explain that now the problem have increase a lot i suggest to visit a ortho doctor first. and then if every thing is fine do visit physical therapist for some exercise guideline for strengthening of spinal muscles.
take care.
