Spinal Cord Injury: Paraplegic and Quadriplegic Injuries. Paraplegia is the paralysis of both lower limbs resulting (with exceptions) from a spinal cord injury, most often the result of some sort of trauma caused by accidents, but sometimes due to medical conditions (illness).
Monoplegia is a condition involving the nervous system in which a muscle group, single muscle, or single limb is paralyzed. A closely related condition is monoparesis, in which people experience weakness in a single limb, muscle group, or muscle. Both conditions can be caused by a range of issues, with cerebral palsy being a very common cause of monoplegia. Some treatment options are available, depending on what is causing the paralysis.
