Diplegia

A form of paralysis or weakness affecting corresponding parts on both sides of the body, most commonly both legs. Spastic diplegia is one of the most common forms of cerebral palsy, where muscle stiffness primarily affects the lower extremities while upper body function may be relatively preserved. For accessibility, users with diplegia typically retain hand function for computer input but may require mobility accommodations and should not be required to use foot-operated controls.
