Paralysis of both legs is called?
Correct Answer:
Paraplegia
Explanation:
Paralysis of both legs is called paraplegia. This term describes loss of motor function in the lower half of the body, typically due to damage or disease affecting the spinal cord below the neck. The upper body, including the arms, usually remains less or differently affected, which distinguishes paraplegia from other types. Monoplegia means paralysis of a single limb; hemiplegia is paralysis on one side of the body; quadriplegia involves all four limbs. In paraplegia, leg movement is impaired while arm movement is preserved, though sensation and autonomic functions below the level of injury may also be affected.
