There are different degrees of paraplegia. It really depends where the injury/defect is. Some people have the neural capacity to move their legs a certain amount, so prosthetics make sense. Some people don’t have the neural capacity to move their legs at all, so they wouldn’t even be able to move the prosthetic leg and it would be useless
