	MedFriendly.com: Quadriplegia
		Quadriplegia is typically caused by an injury to the spinal cord (which sends messages to body parts important for movement and sensation).
		Quadriplegia is most likely to occur when a spinal cord injury is in the area of the 5th to 7th cervical vertebrae (bones in the neck that make up part of the structure surrounding the spinal cord).
		Quadriplegia comes from the Latin word "quattuor," meaning "four," and the word "plege," meaning "stroke." Put the two words together and you have "four stroke," referring to the four limbs (arms and legs) of the body.
