quadriplegic means that your 4 limbs are paralyzed, ie no use of arms and legs. Just like paraplegic means you're paralyzed usually from the waist down so you have no use of your legs, but I think it can also be the results of a stroke where you are paralyzed on one side of your body, ie one arm and one leg don't work.
