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).
Paraplegia is predominantly the result of a spinal cord injury due to an accident or other trauma. Most common accidents include motor vehicle accidents and falls in those aged over 65. Spinal injuries arenât always immediately apparent and numbness or paralysis can be delayed or immediate.
