Paraplegia is paralysis that involves loss of motor and sensory control of the trunk and two extremities. In addition, paraplegia for the most part is the result of a spinal cord injury due to an accident or other trauma. Most common accidents contain motor vehicle accidents and falls in those aged over 65.
