Paraplegia means a body loses partial or complete loss of function in the lower limbs and the trunk. It typically results from a spinal cord injury at the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral levels. Paraplegia is one of the most common types of paralysis from a complete spinal cord injury. Many paraplegics experience differing levels of disability which relate to the severity of the partial or complete spinal cord injury.
Paraplegia is classified by the level and extent of the injury to the spinal cord and divided into segments and degrees of paralysis. The main types of paraplegia are: Complete Paraplegia and Incomplete Paraplegia.
Paraplegics often face significant challenges in mobility, loss of sensation and the loss of function to those areas below the spina injury.
Quadriplegia, which is more commonly known as tetraplegia, is a serious condition characterized by the partial or complete loss of function in both upper and lower limbs, as well as the trunk or torso.

While paraplegics maintain upper body function and sensation, quadriplegics however have seriously limited to no movement in both upper and lower body movements, impacting daily activities and mobility to different degrees. Both spinal cord injuries are catastrophic with life-long medical, family, and economic impacts.

Traumatic brain injury can range from mild concussions to severe injuries with long-lasting consequences.
