Tetraplegia means paralysis of all four limbs. The best match is quadriplegia, the term used to describe paralysis of both arms and both legs. Paraplegia refers to paralysis of the legs (and possibly part of the trunk), hemiplegia is paralysis on one side of the body, and monoplegia is paralysis of a single limb. So tetraplegia and quadriplegia describe the same extent of paralysis across all four limbs.
