what is a quadriplegia injury?
Quadriplegia is a spinal cord injury. A large number of people can become affected by quadriplegia, with over half of all injuries resulting in quadriplegia. For injuries involving sports, quadriplegia makes even more of an impact, resulting in 92% of all sports injuries. When someone suffers from quadriplegia, it usually refers to paralysis from the shoulders down, affecting all four limbs. Quadriplegia can interfere with other losses in functioning and sensation such as with the bladder and bowel, which can be especially distressing. There is no cure for spinal cord injuries like quadriplegia, and while physically and emotionally devastating, quadriplegia can be financially devastating as well. The cost for ongoing medical treatment due to quadriplegia is extremely costly.
