Does paraplegia affect movement of legs?

Answer:
Physical disabilities can be separated into 2 main categories - quadriplegic and paraplegic. Since "Quad" means 4, quadriplegia results in paralysis of both upper and lower limbs i.e. the arms and legs. Paraplegia results in only the lower limbs being paralyzed i.e. the legs.
