Best AnswerAsker's ChoiceWhen a person has a disability such as the one you mention, they often get specialized training in how to take care of all sorts of things you and I take for granted.

Things such as going to the bathroom, getting into and out of wheelchair or a bed (called transferring), taking care of personal hygiene, etc. are all taught under the subject called "activities of daily living." You've probably heard of ADLs, as in doing your ADLs or taking care of ADLs. That is what it refers to.

Every person has limitations and strengths. The folks who teach the individual how to do these things have been doing this for some time, and they have a whole set of techniques for getting the job done. These include basic common sense, some unknown tricks, and of course assistive devices.

Hand rails in the bathroom are the most obvious. They help a person get onto and off the Pot without needing assistance from another person (very important), and some things such as the downward tilted mirror make it possible for a person in a wheel chair to primp just like the rest of us in the lavatory.

It may surprise you to learn that the legless person has a lot less problems than some other disabilities, such as the person missing arms, the quadriplegic, etc. But there are techniques for helping all of these people to be able to be in the world in as normal a way as possible.
