A medical condition where paralysis or weakness affects paired body parts, usually on both sides of the body.
From Greek 'diplos' (double) and 'plege' (stroke, paralysis), literally meaning 'double stroke' or paralysis affecting bilateral structures.
The most common form is cerebral palsy's diplegic type, where both legs are affected equally—Stephen Hawking had this form, proving that physical limitation doesn't limit intellectual brilliance.
