Yes, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was paralyzed from the waist down due to polio. He contracted the disease in 1921 and it left him with limited mobility for the rest of his life. Despite his paralysis, FDR was able to navigate his wheelchair and hide his disability from the public by using leg braces and utilizing various support systems during his presidency.
