Loss of motor and sensory control of the trunk of the body and lower extremities is a characteristic symptom of paraplegia. Quadriplegia, on the other hand, refers to the loss of motor and sensory control of all limbs and the trunk of the body, usually as a result of injury to the cervical spine. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects peripheral nerves, causing weakness, numbness, and pain typically in the hands and feet. A slipped disk is a condition in which a disk in the spine moves out of place, causing pain and discomfort.
