As a result the right hemisphere of the brain controls movement on the left side of the body and the left hemisphere controls movement on the right side of the body. Therefore, damage in the motor area on one side of the brain affects the opposite side of the body.

Understanding TBI: Part 2 - Brain injury impact on individuals functioning 1 The left half controls movement and sensation in the right side of the body, and the right half controls movement and sensation in the left side. 2  Thus, damage to the right side of the brain may cause movement problems or weakness on the body's left side.he effect of a brain injury is partially determined by the location of the injury. Sometimes only a single area is affected, but in most cases of TBI multiple areas have been injured. When all areas of the brain are affected, the injury can be very severe.
