Just as an aside.
Quadriplegia / Tetraplegia: is when a person has a spinal cord injury above the first thoracic vertebra, paralysis usually affects the cervical spinal nerves resulting in paralysis of all four limbs.


Paraplegia: is when the level of spinal cord injury occurs below the first thoracic spinal nerve.

Paraplegics have full use of their arms and hands.
