Franklin Roosevelt and polio, 1930s
Franklin Roosevelt and polio, 1930s. Future US President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) shaking hands in 1930 with his predecessor as Governor of New York Alfred E. Smith (1873-1944). At the time of this photograph, Franklin was Governor of New York. Visible on his legs are the braces used for support due to polio-induced paralysis. Polio, also known as poliomyelitis and infantile paralysis, is a childhood disease caused by a virus. Polio epidemics in the early 20th century left thousands paralysed. Roosevelt contracted polio as an adult at the age of 39 in 1921. He was left permanently paralysed from the waist down. The heavy steel leg braces allowed him to walk short distances with crutches.
