Franklin D. Roosevelt was partially paralyzed in his legs from polio several years before he ran for president. He wore braces on his legs and could stand up with the support of the podium to make speeches and I think he could take a few steps to get to the podium. He hid his disability from the public. He had a special car with hand controls that he could drive.
