Paralysis of the legs and lower part of the body, monoplegia, quadriplegia.
Paralysis which affects the lower part of the body and the legs, usually caused by an injury to the spinal cord.
Paralysis or weakness affecting the legs and part of the trunk, as in a person who has suffered a spinal-cord injury below the neck.
Paralysis of the lower limbs, sometimes accompanied by loss of sensory and/or motor function in the back and abdominal region below the level of the injury; it most often occurs as a result of trauma (e.g., automobile or sports accident), but may also be congenital (e.g., spina bifida) or acquired as a result of alcoholism, syphilis, or disease affecting the spinal cord or associated nerves. Treatment depends on the cause and extent of damage; it may include surgery (e.g., laminectomy); use of special immobilization devices; and the administration of pain- relieving drugs and drugs to prevent infection, especially of the bladder.
Paralysis of the legs, often as a result of a spinal cord injury. In addition to paralysis, other symptoms frequently include numbness, tingling, pain, and problems with speech, vision, or balance. There may be a loss of bladder and bowel control, as well as sexual dysfunction.
Paralysis of both legs, usually due to disease or injury of the spinal cord. It is often accompanied by loss of sensation below the level of the injury and disturbed bladder function.
Paraplegia of the lower limbs, accompanied generally by paralysis of bladder and rectum.
Paralysis of the lower portion of the body and of both legs. It is caused by a lesion involving the spinal cord that may be due to maldevelopment, epidural abscess, hematomyelia, acute transverse myelitis, spinal neoplasms, multiple sclerosis, syringomyelia, or trauma.
Paralysis of the lower body and legs.
Both legs, and occasionally a portion of the torso, may experience weakness or paralysis. This is often paired with a loss of sensation and urinary incontinence. Paraplegia stems from nerve damage in the brain or spinal cord.
Paralysis of either both upper or both lower limbs, although it typically refers to paralysis of the lower limbs.
