Quadriplegia is when the damage is located in the cervical region of the spine; tetra means four (limbs). Quadriplegias account for one third of all spinal cord injuries. Accidents are the most common cause of spinal cord injuries; the number of cases is between 1000 and 1500 annually. Young adults are thus the most commonly affected population (15-35 years old), and they tend to be male more often than female.
