Was Franklin D. Roosevelt in a wheel chair?

Answer 1

Answer

He was in a wheel chair most all his life. He had leg braces and everything. It was because he had the disease "Polio".

By most standards he was, a very small number of people knew the extent of his disability and the press made a collective, unwritten, nonbinding agreement not to report it. The days of the paparazzi and tabloids had yet to be invented.

Answer 2

Yes, he could not walk because he contracted polio. And not only was he in a wheel chair but if you look back at videos during everyone of his speeches he would stand because the public didn't know about him having polio. He didn't want to tell them because he didn't want them to think he was incapable of being president. And he could walk little bit with crutches.

Answer 3

FDR was caused to be in a wheel chair by a disease he had that went from his chest to his ankle's. He would have his sons help him walk so no one ever discovered him in crutches or in a wheel chair. This disease was called polio!
