Anosognosia occurs, at least temporarily, in over 50% of stroke victims who suffer from [[hemiplegia]] (paralysis on the side of the body opposite the stroke). Patients with anosognosia for hemiplegia insist that they can do things like lift both legs, touch their doctor's nose with a finger on their paralyzed side, and walk normally. These patients are much less likely to regain independence after their stroke than patients without anosognosia, primarily because they overestimate their own abilities in unsafe situations.</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">== Treatment ==</ins></div></td></tr>  </table>
