Paraplegia and Quadriplegia
In the medical world, there are two primary types of paralysis, each of which is generally defined by the area of the spinal cord that is injured. If their lower spinal cord is damaged, a person may suffer from paraplegia. This type of paralysis may require them to use a wheelchair, but most of the time paraplegics can move their torso and arms in a normal manner. Quadriplegia may occur when a person sustains an injury to the upper spinal cord near the upper back or lower neck. Quadriplegics are usually not capable of moving their legs, torso, arms, or fingers, and in some instances, they may not even be able to move their head or neck at all.
