Approximately 11,000 spinal cord injuries reported each year in the United States involve paraplegia. Such events occur as a result of automobile and motorcycle accidents, sporting accidents, falls, and gunshot wounds.
When paralysis is involved for spinal cord injury victims, their particular injury is classified as one of two types: Paraplegia: Paralysis of both legs. Quadriplegia: Paralysis of both legs and both arms. Spinal injuries are classified as paraplegia or quadriplegia depending on the location along the spine of where the injury has occurred. For paraplegia, injury damage happens below the neck. For quadriplegia, damage happens to the spinal cord at the base of the skull or the neck. Risk Factors. There are certain risk factors for developing quadriplegia and paraplegia. If an injury victim is experiencing any of the above symptoms, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are quadriplegic or paraplegic.
