diplegia in English
noun
1
paralysis of corresponding parts on both sides of the body, typically affecting the legs more severely than the arms.
When both legs are affected (spastic diplegia ), a child may have difficulty walking because tight muscles in the hips and legs cause legs to turn inward and cross at the knees (called scissoring).
