The inability to use or feel both legs or move the rest of the lower body is what constitutes the condition known as paraplegia. Often the condition is the result of a severe injury to the spinal cord or severe brain injury as a result of an auto, motorcycle, car, SUV, truck, bicycle, or off-road accident or as a result of a bad fall, or from a gunshot or military wound.
The condition often is the result of an injury to the thoracic, lumbar or sacral areas of the spinal cord, but can also arise from other sources including a traumatic injury to the brain. Often it is difficult to determine how long the condition will last, but as long as the condition does exist, it can result in further medical complications as well as depression, bed sores, breathing problems and like quadriplegia is a tremendous strain on the injured person's family as well, both economically and emotionally.
