The term 'crippled' traditionally refers to someone who has a severe physical disability, especially one that affects their ability to walk or move. It can result from various causes such as injury, illness, or congenital conditions leading to significant limitation in mobility or strength. The use of this term has decreased due to its negative connotations and potential to be considered offensive. More sensitive and respectful alternatives like 'person with a disability' or 'physically challenged' are now commonly used.
