Paraplegia
Definition
Paraplegia is a type of mobility disability characterized by the partial or complete paralysis of the lower half of the body, including both legs. This condition typically results from spinal cord injuries or diseases affecting the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spine, leading to loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury.
