Quadriplegics can breathe independently if their diaphragm and intercostal muscles are functioning, which is often the case if their spinal cord injury is incomplete. However, those with complete quadriplegia may have impaired respiratory function and might rely on mechanical ventilation or assistive devices to aid breathing. In some cases, individuals may use techniques like adaptive coughing to help clear their airways. Rehabilitation and respiratory therapy can also play a crucial role in improving respiratory function.

Why can't quadriplegics move neck down?
Quadriplegics typically experience paralysis due to damage to the spinal cord, often at the cervical level, which disrupts the communication between the brain and the body. This injury affects the nerves that control movement and sensation in the arms, legs, and torso. As a result, individuals may retain some function in their neck and head but lack the ability to move or control muscles below that level. The extent of paralysis can vary based on the severity and location of the spinal cord injury.
