Answer:

cervical

Explanation:

“Most people with tetraplegia have significant paralysis below the neck, and many are completely unable to move. This form of paralysis is typically the product of damage high in the spinal cord, usually in the cervical spine between C1-C7. The higher the injury is, the more extensive the damage will be.”
