Detailed explanation-1: -Quadriplegia is a symptom of paralysis that affects all a person’s limbs and body from the neck down. The most common cause of quadriplegia is an injury to the spinal cord in your neck, but it can also happen with medical conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Quadriplegia? Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, is the paralysis of the body from at least the shoulders down. The paralysis is a result of damage to the spinal cord which prevents messages from the brain from being sent to the rest of the body. The spinal cord is not the bones of your spine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paralysis As a Result of Spinal Cord Injuries If the injury occurs in the lower part of the spinal cord, the body will be paralyzed from the waist down (paraplegia). If the upper part of the spinal cord – the neck region – is injured, the body will be paralyzed from the neck down (quadriplegia).
