Quadriplegia is a medical condition caused by trauma to the cervical spinal cord in the neck, vertebrae levels C 1 through C 8. It results in either total or partial paralysis in all four limbs (arms and legs).
Paralysis from the neck down is usually cased by a broken spinal cord.
Paralysis of four extremities is called quadriplegia or tetraplegia. Quadriplegic or tetraplegic is the correct term for anyone who has paralysis of all four limbs. Quadriparesis is weakness in all four limbs.
