The Causes of Quadriplegia. The primary cause of quadriplegia is a spinal cord injury, but other conditions such as cerebral palsy and strokes can cause a similar appearing paralysis. The amount of impairment resulting from a spinal cord injury depends on the part of the spinal cord injured and the amount of damage done.
1 Hemiplegia is the paralysis of the arm and leg on one side of the body. 2  Paraplegia is the paralysis of both legs and some other areas of the lower body, such as the pelvis. 3  Tetraplegia or quadriplegia is the paralysis of both arms and legs.
