The difference is a paraplegic has two limbs affected by paralysis and a quadriplegic has four limbs affected by paralysis. This doesn't mean it's fully paralysed, but if there's partial paralysis then it counts. For example, for myself, I'm a quadriplegic. Although I can move my arms, they are affected to some degree by the paralysis. Hopefully this clears up
@AdaptToPerform Seems Quadriplegic fits my situation. I can't use my hands and has no grip. I only use my thumbs to type. I need a full care because I can't do anything without someone caring for me. I still have sensation in all of my limbs but I cannot use them. Waking up with muscle ache all over my body and so difficult to get up. I need to take emg ncv test to find out what's going on me, being like this since 2022 is so difficult. Thanks for the reply btw.
Great idea. I never thought of it and it's so simple!
