The various types are classified according to region. Monoplegia affects one limb, diplegia affects the same body region on both sides—both arms, both legs, etc. Hemiplegia affects one side of the body. Paraplegia affects both legs, lower torso, and occasionally the chest. Quadriplegia, also called tetraplegia, affects all four limbs and the torso.
