What is a paraplegic?

A paraplegic is a person who has paralysis of the lower half of the body, typically as a result of injury or damage to the spinal cord. This condition affects the legs and sometimes the lower torso, leading to loss of sensation and motor function in these areas. Paraplegia can be caused by traumatic injuries, such as car accidents or falls, as well as by medical conditions like spinal cord diseases or tumors. Individuals with paraplegia often use wheelchairs for mobility and may require rehabilitation and adaptive devices to assist with daily activities.

While paraplegics are recipients of therapy, physical therapists are providers specializing in rehabilitation. The two roles are interconnected but distinct in credentials and responsibilities.
