Quadriplegia is a neurological condition which affects the upper and lower body of the affected individual, including all 4 limbs. The condition is also commonly called Tetraplegia. The name comes from the Latin word “quattuor” (or Greek word “tetra”) meaning 4 and the Greek word “plege” meaning stroke. Full body paralysis is another name for the quadriplegic condition.
