In the case of a left intracranial hemorrhage, the primary physical finding that would be observed is right-sided hemiplegia. This occurs because each side of the brain controls movement in the opposite side of the body. Specifically, the left hemisphere is responsible for motor functions in the right side of the body. Therefore, damage to the left side of the brain, such as that from a stroke or hemorrhage, leads to weakness or paralysis on the right side.

In addition to right-sided hemiplegia, other potential findings might include speech impairment, as the left hemisphere is also typically involved in language functions. Loss of coordination can occur depending on the specific areas of the brain affected but is not as directly associated with left-sided hemorrhage when considering major motor deficits. The understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology is essential in comprehending these implications.
