Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia, refers to paralysis in the upper and lower body. This means that it affects both arms and both legs. This type of paralysis is typically due to damage to the spinal cord or brain. Tetraplegia is one of the most severe forms of paralysis.
Incomplete quadriplegia involves weakness or paralysis of all four limbs. Depending on the severity of the spinal cord injury, individuals may have residual movement. About 47% of all spinal cord injuries result in incomplete quadriplegia, making it the most common type of spinal cord injury.
Quadriplegia refers to paralysis from the neck down, including the trunk, legs and arms. The condition is typically caused by an injury to the spinal cord that contains the nerves that transmit messages of movement and sensation from the brain to parts of the body.
The ICD-10 Code for Quadriplegia is G82. 50.

A C6 spinal cord injury is one that affects the lower end of the cord near the base of the neck. Injuries to this area of the spinal cord can result in loss of sensation or function of everything in the body from the top of the ribcage on down, including all four extremities, or what is known as quadriplegia.
Doctors may use several methods to diagnose different causes of quadriplegia, such as: MRI Scans. Doctors can use MRI scans to check for abnormalities such as brain tumors, cysts, and herniated disks in the spinal cord that may be impeding signals from the brain. Spinal Taps (Lumbar Punctures).
Paraplegia is a paralysis starting in the thoracic (T1-T12), lumbar (L1-L5) or sacral (S1-S5) area, while tetraplegia is caused by damage in the cervical area (C1-C8). Persons with paraplegia possess good functioning of the arms and hands.

The areas of impaired mobility usually include the fingers, hands, arms, chest, legs, feet and toes and may or may not include the head, neck, and shoulders.
Tetraplegic patients have impairment of motor and/or sensory function in the cervical segment of the spinal cord (Rowley, Forde, Glickman, & Middleton, 2001). Tetraplegia is a preferred term to quadriplegia and it presents with loss of muscle strength in all four extremities, the trunk and pelvic organs.
