Preferred term

diplegia  

Definition

  • Diplegia, when used singularly, refers to paralysis affecting symmetrical parts of the body. This is different from hemiplegia which refers to spasticity restricted to one side of the body, and quadriplegia which requires the involvement of all four limbs but not necessarily symmetrical.
