paraplegia
Paraplegia is a medical condition characterized by the loss of movement and sensation in the lower half of the body, typically affecting the legs. This condition usually results from damage to the spinal cord, often due to injuries, diseases, or congenital disorders. Individuals with paraplegia may require assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, to aid in mobility.
The severity of paraplegia can vary, with some individuals retaining partial movement or feeling in their legs. Rehabilitation and therapy play crucial roles in helping those affected adapt to their condition and improve their quality of life. Support from healthcare professionals and family is essential for managing daily activities and emotional well-being.
