Abasiophilia
Abasiophilia, considered by some to be a type of paraphilia, is a sexual attraction to disabled people who use orthopedic appliances such as leg braces, Orthopedic casts, spinal braces, or wheelchairs. The etymology is from the Greek Language "abasios", meaning "lameness". The attraction can be very strong. For some, it can be a source of guilt. It is not uncommon for those affected to want to use orthopedic appliances themselves. The majority of people who do find this a source of relief from what can be an overpowering desire.
It is classed as a form of disability fetishism that starts in early childhood, usually long before puberty is reached. There is normally a trigger event in early childhood involving disabled children or adults. It is most common in those who were children in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s when Polio was common and there were lots of people using leg braces to be seen.
