Quadriplegia is a severe form of paralysis affecting all four limbs and the torso. People living with this condition no longer have the ability to move these parts of their body, and may also have difficulty controlling their breathing, bladder, and bowel functions. A victim of quadriplegia requires comprehensive medical care and support to manage their day-to-day activities.
