0.000What This Code Means
Weakness or paralysis affecting only the right leg in a person whose right side is their dominant side.
Coding Tips
- •Verify dominance documentation in the medical record; if not specified, query the provider before assigning dominant/nondominant codes
- •Ensure the monoplegia is isolated to the lower limb; if both upper and lower limbs are affected, use a different code
Clinical Significance
Monoplegia of the lower limb affecting the right dominant side indicates paralysis of the right leg in a right-dominant individual. This affects the patient's ability to perform weight-bearing activities on their stronger side, impacting gait stability and transfer ability. The concept of lower limb dominance is less commonly documented than upper limb dominance, which may require specific provider query.

- ✓Right-side dominance confirmed
- ✓Underlying etiology documented
- ✓Neurological examination findings confirming paralysis
