In terms of physical impacts, which of the following describes diplegia?

Diplegia specifically refers to a condition where both legs are affected while the arms are less involved. This condition is often associated with cerebral palsy, where motor control and muscle function are impacted, leading to varying degrees of weakness in the lower parts of the body. In diplegia, individuals typically exhibit greater impairment in the legs compared to the arms. While some arm involvement may occur, it is usually not to the same extent as the legs. This distinction is crucial for understanding therapeutic approaches and educational strategies tailored to individuals with diplegia. The other options describe conditions that do not accurately reflect the specific characteristics of diplegia. For example, if both arms and legs were affected, it would not be classified as diplegia but rather as quadriplegia.
