Representing Paralysis Victims

The seriousness of an injury is often determined by the amount that it hinders the quality of life for the injury victim. Looked at in this way, paralysis is one of the worst injuries that one could endure, because it tremendously limits the victim’s ability to experience a normal life.

Representation For People Suffering From Paralysis

The location of the injury to the spinal cord is the determining factor in how widespread a victim’s paralysis is. The higher up on the spinal cord the injury, the more body regions are affected. Though there are others, the two main types of paralysis are paraplegia and quadriplegia.

  • Paraplegia: Para, meaning two, refers to two limbs being affected by the paralysis. In paraplegics, the two limbs that are affected are the legs.
  • Quadriplegia: Quad, meaning four, refers to the fact that all four limbs are affected by the paralysis. Some quadriplegics need assistance with breathing, as their lungs are affected, and others do not. This is also sometimes called tetraplegia.
