Quadriplegia is a condition where a person experiences a loss of movement in all four limbs and the torso. This paralysis typically results from a spinal cord injury or disease affecting the neck region of the spinal cord. As a result, individuals with quadriplegia may have limited or no movement and sensation in their arms, hands, legs, and torso. The seriousness of quadriplegia can vary depending on the extent and location of the spinal cord injury. People with quadriplegia often require assistance with daily activities and may use mobility aids such as wheelchairs or specialized equipment to improve independence and quality of life.
