Paraplegia refers to an impairment in sensory or motor function of the lower extremities. It is commonly caused by congenital condition or spinal cord injury, which impacts the neural elements of the spinal canal. The area of the spinal canal which is influenced by paraplegia mainly covers lumbar, thoracic or sacral regions.
