Best Answer

A paraplegic and a quadriplegic are individuals suffering from some sort of damage to the spinal cord, whether it was caused by injury or by congential problems. This damage results in some degree of paralysis, or the inability to move, as well as changes in sensory function. The difference stems from the location and the extent of damage.
