	Paraplegia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paraplegia is a condition in which the lower part of a patient's body is paralyzed and cannot move.
		Central nervous system: Any disease process affecting the pyramidal tract of the spinal cord from the thoracic spine downward may lead to paraplegia, as this structure transmits "instructions" for movement from the brain to the anterior horn.
		This form of damage is not usually symmetrical and would not cause paraplegia, but polyneuropathy may cause paraplegia if motor fibres are affected.

	MedFriendly.com: Paraplegia
		Paraplegia is a loss of the ability to move and/or feel both legs and generally, the lower trunk (stomach area and lower back).
		Paraplegia is often caused by an injury to the spinal cord, such as those resulting from a motor vehicle or motorcycle accident, gunshot wounds, and falls.
		Paraplegia comes from the Greek word "para" meaning "near," and the word "plege" meaning "stroke." Put the two words together and you have "near stroke." A stroke is a burst artery (a type of blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart) or a blockage of an artery in the brain.

		Because paraplegia is most often caused by a disruption to the spinal cord - the channel through which nerve impulses between the brain and the body travel - people with paraplegia also suffer from damage to sensory nerves in the brain.
		The level of spinal cord damage associated with paraplegia varies depending on the causes of the paraplegia, and the methods of treatment for paraplegia complications are symptom-related.
		Hereditary spastic paraplegia is the term for a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by weakness and spasticity or stiffness of the leg and hip muscles.

		Paraplegia is caused by spinal cord injury, and many accident victims are paraplegic as a result of unsafe or defective vehicles.
		Because paraplegia interrupts sensory messages to the brain, paraplegics cannot “feel” their affected body parts, and are generally insensitive to pain or heat.
		Paraplegia is often caused by major trauma such as a car accident.

	Hereditary spastic paraplegia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also called familial spastic paraparesis (FSP), refers to a group of inherited disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness of the legs.
		Though the primary feature of HSP is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity, in more complicated forms it can be accompanied by other neurological symptoms.
		Symptomatic treatments used for other forms of chronic paraplegia are sometimes helpful.

		Paraplegia and quadriplegia are caused by an injury or disease that damages the spinal cord, and consequently always affects both sides of the body.
		Diseases that cause paraplegia or quadriplegia include spinal tuberculosis, syphilis, spinal tumors, multiple sclerosis, and poliomyelitis.
		Treatment of paraplegia and quadriplegia is aimed at helping to compensate for the paralysis by means of mechanical devices and through psychological and physical therapy.

		While several exercise studies have attempted to strengthen the upper extremities of persons with paraplegia and to stabilize their shoulder girdle functions (24-27), relatively little is known of the acute responses to such exercise or the chronic benefits of strength training for persons with paraplegia.
		Prescriptive errors should be anticipated when such guidelines are used for persons with paraplegia, because they usually use their arms not their legs to perform work and have a physiological response to upper-limb exertion differing significantly from persons with intact neuraxes (27,38,39,41,50).

		The term 'prevalence' of Paraplegia usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Paraplegia at any given time.
		The term 'incidence' of Paraplegia refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Paraplegia diagnosed each year.
		Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
