Throwing Off the Disability	comment	A character who has been disabled for an extended period, often physically or visually, suddenly regains the use of their disabled organ. Expect a dramatic shot of the crutch being thrown away, or the discarded wheelchair clattering its way to oblivion. Explanations for this tend to fall into five varieties: The character can override the disability through Heroic Willpower. This is most believable if it's a short-lived emergency override of a disability that makes normal physical activity very painful and difficult, but not outright impossible. Often seen in Physical Therapy Plots. 1a. The disability was psychosomatic in the first place, so Heroic Willpower was all that was ever needed to cure it. The disability was temporary, and rest and/or medical treatment have healed it in time for the plot-relevant moment. The character was only feigning the disability in the first place, or exaggerating their impediment. The otherwise incurable disability was miraculously cured through Divine Intervention or by Applied Phlebotinum. The disability could just disappear for no reason at all, possibly as a Retcon or as Canon Discontinuity. This trope can provoke the implication that any disabled person who doesn't throw off their disability must somehow want to remain disabled. See Epiphany Therapy for characters throwing off mental disorders or psychological trauma. See also Artificial Limbs, Beautiful All Along. Compare Abled in the Adaptation, where a characterâ€™s disability in the original is left out of an adapted work, and Healthy in Heaven, for when characters lose their disabilities in the afterlife.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock: Subverted in "A Study in Pink": army doctor John Watson returns after being wounded in Afghanistan, now walking with a limp and cane. But, as pointed out by others, the limp and pain are not constant, and disappear when he is occupied with something dangerous, exciting, or curiosity-inspiring — letting them conclude it's mostly psychosomatic. They are right, and during the first episode, it happens more and more often for extended periods until the limp and the cane disappear entirely. We later learn that he was wounded in the shoulder, not the leg.

McCall and her older sister McKenzie were spared because their maternal grandmother was forcibly given brainwashing surgery that caused her to go insane and eventually commit suicide when their mom was ten, giving her a lifelong fear of hospitals and the empire. McKenzie eventually got the surgery voluntarily as an adult. McCall never did.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_18916544	comment	An episode of Fillmore! included a computer game reviewer who was in a wheelchair with both her legs in casts. When Fillmore and Ingrid try to bring her in for questioning about a stolen game system, she flees in the chair - then, when the chair gets stuck on uneven ground, she opens the casts, gets up, and attempts to run away. After being caught and questioned, she haughtily points out, "I never said I couldn't walk. I just prefer not to waste the excess energy." Fillmore is unimpressed: "You let people believe you were seriously injured. You don't just fake a double leg break!" Also notable in that while she might have been able to run, she had been faking disability for so long that she only made it a few feet before collapsing from exhaustion.

Partly this is due to treatments (of varying degrees of bakedness) that he tries over the course of the series, partly it's due to how much Vicodin/Methadone/Ibuprofen/whatever he happens to be taking at the time.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_23553960	comment	Subverted and then played straight in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Similar to the Kill Bill example detailed above, Snake's years-long coma gives him muscle atrophy. Despite the doctors apparently trying to maintain his muscle mass, when the hospital he's in is attacked, he can't move and needs to be given drugs to help him recover - however, they don't kick in immediately, and he has to crawl on the floor before they do. However, once Snake is safely out of the hospital, there's a time skip of a week and then he's back to his usual self, having completely recovered from the atrophy (though it's stated he's spent that whole time in constant physical training. Still not realistic, but at least an effort at explanation was made).

When she's reunited with her estranged brother, Tachibana, after he's been tortured to death by the Dojima Family, her desire to see his face is so strong that she actually regains her sight. Downplayed in that her recovery happens gradually instead of all at once; at first she can only see shadows and vague outlines, and in the epilogue, she still hasn't fully recovered. In the prologue sequence of Yakuza: Like a Dragon set 18 years prior to the actual start of the game, Masato Arakawa (who is a wheelchair user due to getting hypothermia as an infant) uses a foreign-made ephedrine to allow himself to walk temporarily for his birthday. Unfortunately, he underestimates how long it works and his legs give out while making his way home. In the modern-day, after changing his identity to "Ryo Aoki" he was able to attain a lung transplant in America that gave him the ability to walk permanently.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_2675c915	comment	In the Season 1 finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fitz nearly drowns and suffers brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. In this episode, and for the first few episodes of Season 2, it's repeatedly stated that he'll probably never be the same again, and it's shown that he's lost a lot of mobility in his hands, can no longer speak coherently, suffers from violent outbursts and hallucinations, and seems to have lost much of his knowledge of engineering and physics that made him a valuable member of the team. He makes a slow recovery over the course of the first half of Season 2, and while his progress is quite amazing considering earlier fears he would literally be rendered catatonic and the fact that he'd made almost no improvement in the first few months after his injury, it's still broadly believable. However, after the mid-season break it's only rarely brought up and never shown to hamper him anymore, and notably the whole "life-changing injury" story for his character is never once mentioned in the whole of Season 3 when he's fully functional once again and any differences from his Season 1 characterization are attributed to the emotional trauma he's suffered. In-universe it's treated as an example of Heroic Willpower with a dash of Hollywood Healing, though the lack of follow-up suggests that it's been quietly retconned along with a few other details from Season 2. This is Zigzaged a bit, as like a lot of brain-damage plots, the actor keeps the subplot alive through a change in their performance they never quite drop, while the plot quietly drops it in favor of new developments. In Season 1, Fitz spoke in obnoxiously large words and rarely ever stumbled in his speech. As season 2 continued & Fitz improved, Iain De Caestecker developed the habit of using a more accessible vocabluary that was easier not to stumble over for someone who stuttered fairly regularly, as Fitz did for the rest of the series. For a similar example see the brain damage in CSI: Miami

Played straight in the first season, when Mr. Linderman heals Nathan's wife, who was paralyzed from the waist down, as a "gift" to her and Nathan. There's also Claire, whose power is cellular regeneration and hence, immortality. When her powers are stripped away during the eclipse, her lack of immune system leads to her swift death from multiple infections and diseases. Luckily, as soon as the eclipse ends, her powers come back and she returns to life.

Masada has programmed his brainware to compensate for the sensory distortions caused by his kaja, while Luis Hsing became completely neurotypical as soon as he was old enough to consent to the procedure. There's no pressure to become cured - a person's kaja is seen as a part of their natural essence, and changing some of it for the sake of their career is slightly frowned upon.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_35bf6493	comment	What Katy Did has Katy lose the use of her legs after she falls off a swing and suffers a spinal injury. Her father, a doctor, predicts that she will recover given time. It takes four years, but she learns to walk again by the end of the book. Averted with Katy's older cousin, Helen, who was left permanently paralysed as a result of an accident she suffered prior to the start of the story. Defied in Katy by Jacqueline Wilson, a modern retelling of What Katy Did. Katy, like her 19th Century counterpart, is left paralysed after she injures her back falling from a swing (one she makes herself while home alone after being banned from a family outing as punishment for disobedience) and is initially convinced that she can walk again with enough determination. However, she soon learns that it's sadly not possible - the damage to her spine is too severe - and adjusts to life in a wheelchair. A note by the author at the end of the book explains that she was concerned about the original novel's use of this trope and the message it gives to children. This suggests that, even if Wilson had gone down the route of having Katy learn to walk again, she would have presented it as a long, hard struggle with no guarantees of a complete recovery.

In the final episodes, however, Ange guesses that the disability isn't physical and that Sylvia's used her injury as an excuse to rely on others, and gets her sister to start walking again to tie into An Aesop about standing on your own. The thing is, she does this by threatening her sister's life, forcing her to walk out of sheer terror that she was about to be killed. Also, it's glossed over how her legs would be capable of supporting her if she hadn't used them in years.

In this case, she chose to forgo normal physical therapy for Cotton's method, where he purposefully got her angry in order to provoke a response. It was still a long and involved process, though. "Dia-Bill-Ic Shock": Bill is diagnosed with diabetes, and later ends up hospitalized for a sugar spike after bingeing on a box of cookies. His jerkass of a doctor assumes that there is no hope of Bill making any meaningful changes to his lifestyle and tells him that he will eventually lose his legs to gangrene and that he may as well get himself a wheelchair now. Misinterpreting the doctor's angry ranting, Bill acquires a wheelchair and starts using it despite there being nothing wrong with his legs. Bill is at first depressed over his situation but then learns to enjoy life again after he meets a wheelchair athlete (who calls himself Thunder) and his rugby team. While getting drunk at a bar with his new friends, Bill subconsciously gets up from his wheelchair without realizing it and is accused of faking his condition. He tests his blood sugar in an attempt to prove that he has an actual medical condition but it comes up normal. In desperation, Bill starts eating handfuls of sugar in hopes of bringing back his diabetes, rendering himself disabled for real, and restoring his relationship with Thunder. Hank and Thunder show up and explain that Bill had cured himself of his diabetes with his recent upper-body workout regimen — that he could be legitimately inspiring without having to be Inspirationally Disadvantaged. Bill celebrates by visiting his doctor and proceeding to give him "The Reason You Suck" Speech before kicking his ass behind closed doors.

Despite patching things up with Shawn Michaels over a rather controversial event in the past, WWE owner Vince McMahon continued to hold a grudge, leading up to a match between the two at Wrestlemania 26. In the buildup to the match, Hart was injured while getting into his limo, as a car backed up into the door as he was getting in, damaging his leg. Hart, using crutches, was further taunted by McMahon, who thought he had the advantage going into their grudge match. During the contract signing, however, Hart stood up from his chair, tossed aside his crutches, and revealed that he wasn't injured and that he was ready to exact revenge on McMahon... which he did.

A disabled man who says he lost the use of his legs and testicles in an accident, offers the protagonist a chance to impregnate his wife. When he turns down the offer (as he's gay) he gets drugged and raped instead. When angrily confronting the wife later, he's surprised when the husband (who's got full use of his legs) attacks him. It turns out the whole thing was a setup by the local cult who needed his offspring for their own dark purposes. Another possibility is that he really was paralyzed — he implies the Order will give the use of his legs back to him if his wife births a child, which she did and they apparently lived up to their end of the bargain.

The Big Bad, Mr. Ledroptha Curtain, usually travels around in a souped-up wheelchair, even though he is perfectly capable of walking. The wheelchair, as well as the sunglasses he typically wears, are used to hide that he has narcolepsy and falls asleep upon becoming very angry. (This, and he just enjoys it as a fast means of getting around.) The members of the Society are all very shocked when he rises from his chair after they confront him, but are able to get him to fall asleep by angering him. Later, in the sequel The Perilous Journey, when the members of the Society are researching his movements, they learn that he visited a museum and attempted to steal papers from it, pretending be his twin brother, Mr. Benedict. They contacted the police, but when they got there, Mr. Curtain unexpected leapt from his wheelchair and used a device to shock them.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_52d824e7	comment	Invoked by Roddy Piper during the buildup to his match with Adrian Adonis at WrestleMania III, he hosted a Piper's Pit where guest Jimmy Hart poked fun at a leg injury Piper had suffered. Hart presented humiliating gifts from other wrestlers (such as a pink cowboy hat from "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Piper's former bodyguard), but Piper turned the tables on Hart, humiliating him in the process. He followed it up by hopping off the set on his supposedly bad leg.

Then Dr. Wells puts himself in danger. Blackout nearly kills him, but his mentor being in danger reawakens Barry's powers in a Came Back Strong way, allowing him to outrun Blackout's lightning bolts and, when Blackout starts draining him again, he proves himself to be Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth. In season 2, he has his back (and morale) broken by Zoom after a Curb-Stomp Battle. When Grodd kidnaps Caitlin, Barry spends most of the episode on the sidelines, despite his spine being fully intact already, but the morale damage is still present, and Barry still lacks self-confidence. It takes his father's encouragement to bring him out of his funk and deliver a supersonic punch to Grodd, something that was a No-Sell the first time he tried it against the gorilla. In season 4, Cisco manages to bring Barry back from the Speed Force. Unfortunately, he Came Back Wrong and starts speaking in gibberish and drawing unknown symbols on the walls. Iris deliberately gives herself as a hostage to the Monster of the Week, knowing that, no matter what, Barry will always come for her.

In one route, he uses his bike to catch up to a car over the course of 30 kilometers and suffers no lasting ill effects from the exertion. Subverted and played much more realistically for one of the heroines, Kotori Habane. She lost the use of her legs in an accident and relies on a wheelchair for the whole story. At the end of her route, she decides to undergo surgery that will let her walk again... after months of intense recovery, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. Even then, she has to heavily rely on a cane and her wheelchair again if she pushes herself too hard.

So Spock takes matters into his own hands, risking his own career and Captain Kirk's command to help Captain Pike return to Talos IV, the planet of the obscene craniums. There, Captain Pike can live in a kind of dreamworld for the amusement of the sterile Talosians, but at least he'll be perfectly healthy.

Ava, who's deaf, finds out that the baby she gave birth to as a surrogate is deaf too, while the baby's father wants her deafness cured with a cochlear implant (partially as he wants her to experience music like him, but also general ableism). She's strongly opposed to this, along with her husband KJ, as the implants can work badly, there's nothing so bad in being deaf, and it also affects deaf children with hearing parents poorly knowing they view them as "lesser". Ava kidnaps little Lucie as a result to prevent this, along with the other pain she experienced as a deaf child growing up with a hearing parent who didn't understand her.

(The issue ends with Banner Breaking the Fourth Wall, saying it's Just A Story and there's no real cure for ALS, encouraging people to donate to the research to Find A Cure.) When Bruce Banner was in control of the Hulk during the original Secret Wars (1984) he got his leg broken by Ultron. He was put into a brace by his friends, and returned to Earth he was still wearing it. When the Savage Hulk persona eventually reasserted itself the first thing it did was throw away the crutch Banner had been using, tear off the brace, and then proceed to total the Abomination as easily as he always had.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_db418e95	comment	Batgirl: Following the New 52 reboot, Barbara Gordon returned to the role of Batgirl in Batgirl (2011) after decades as the paraplegic Oracle. In-universe, it's been retconned that she was only paralyzed for three years (of Comic-Book Time), and she and her family found some "miracle" doctors in Africa who healed her via a surgical implant that allowed her to walk. The cavalier glossing over of the lengthy recovery process that this would logically require did not please the fanbase, and it was hastily revealed that she hasn't thrown off the psychological effects, getting nasty flashbacks every time she sees a wheelchair ramp and dealing with a good deal of Survivor Guilt. Several stories have also featured the implant getting damaged, temporarily leaving Barbara unable to walk like before. The Heroes in Crisis crossover also revealed that she attends a type of superhero therapy for the psychological scars. During The Joker War, Babs was forced to temporarily disable the implants to stop the Joker from controlling her. As a result, she has gone into semi-retirement as Batgirl, returning to her role as Oracle and giving the mantle to both Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain as any further damage would return her to the chair for good.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_db700120	comment	In the Bigtime series, Lulu Lo spends the first book in a wheelchair because her back had been broken by an ubervillain, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. In the second book, getting hit by an electrical attack by a different ubervillain revives the dead nerves in her body, allowing her to relearn to walk. She spends the third book alternating between her wheelchair and a walker, and in the fourth book has advanced to using a cane.

For ten years. Once he's willing to try, he slowly gains strength. On the other hand, the same characters are eagerly talking about using willpower to cure Ben's back, which really does have something wrong with it... but he doesn't undergo such a dramatic transformation. Averted in the Animated Adaptation, where Colin is genuinely sick and his inability to walk comes from having to stay in bed for said illness.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy: Bonnie flies to Paris to have an affair, and her wheelchair user husband Joe finds out. To save his marriage he pulls the "heroic will" version and walks across the room... or so it appears. It soon becomes clear that it's actually Quagmire, tied to Joe's back, doing all the walking. One episode taking place during the winter has Joe crash his sled and suddenly regain the ability to walk... and during his celebratory dance, his son Kevin accidentally knocks Joe onto his neck with a sled, crippling him again. One episode has Joe revealing that God told him that he could walk one time. He was saving it for his daughter's wedding but used it to escape an uncomfortable conversation, instead. Lampshaded in that episode where they rescue Quagmire from a woman who gets a sexual thrill out of torturing him. They confront her and Peter tells Joe that now would be a good time to dramatically get out of his wheelchair.

Due to sustained injuries after his final fight with Shizuo, Izaya's arms are weak and using his legs causes him pain, so for the most part, he is confined to a wheelchair. As it turns out, these are psychosomatic injuries and if he took therapy, he could move around how he used to. Izaya refuses therapy and claims that it is his 'punishment'. However, it is implied PTSD is the cause behind this decision.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_f39c217d	comment	Aldnoah.Zero: Played with in episode 23. For the last eighteen months, Princess Lemrina has been impersonating her comatose sister Asseylum to rally the Vers Knights. Due to her own disability, she has to pretend Asseylum had been paralyzed during the events of Episode 12 - not completely unlikely, since she was shot in the back and it could have damaged her back and/or spine. So when the real Asseylum, having woken up without having lost her mobility, delivers a speech to the Knights that culminates in her stepping right out of her wheelchair, it appears to be this, when really she'd never even pretended to be paralyzed. Played with similarly in a previous episode where Lemrina appears to do this, only to disengage her camouflage and reveal herself to be Asseylum, having just tricked Slaine into revealing his plans to subjugate Earth.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_fb2991d8	comment	Subverted on Justified with Johny Crowder. After getting shot in season one, Johny is later shown to be using a wheelchair and appears to be paraplegic. However, when some man comes to kill him, he gets out of his wheelchair and walks out the back door to evade them. It is explained that he was not paralyzed from the gunshot but the injuries were severe enough that he is in considerable pain when he walks so he stays in the wheelchair most of the time. As the series progresses, Johny gets out of the chair more often and walks using a cane. It takes more than a year before he is able to walk without the cane and he is never as physically fit as he was in season one.

After his wife's disappearance, Gabriel shamelessly exploited Amelie's concern about her childhood friend by using the various informal business arrangements she'd made with Emelie to try and milk Amelie's company dry. When confronted about this financial abuse, he attempted to guilt-trip her into letting it continue by implying Adrien would suffer if she cut him off. Amelie responded by painstakingly pushing herself up from her wheelchair, gaining just enough leverage to throw herself at Gabriel and drag him to the floor. She didn't magically regain her mobility, but still beat the shit out of him. And proceeded to kick his ass in court afterwards, to boot.

Throwing Off the Disability / int_fda9c8b	comment	Downton Abbey: Matthew is told he'll never walk again after a bomb blast in the WWI trenches. A few episodes later, he starts feeling tingles but is told it's just psychosomatic. He finally bolts up out of his wheelchair to grab Lavinia when she falls. This is treated somewhat realistically, for a number of reasons: The 1915 medical technology wasn't sensitive enough to detect his chances of recovery. The doctor is revealed to have known there was a small chance but didn't want to give false hope, which is consistent with his depiction as medically conservative. Matthew sits down again immediately and has to undergo a long recovery, using a cane for most of the remainder of the series. During Season 1, Mr. Bates is shown having a bad leg from the Boer War. Bates has to rely on a cane and has issues with Downton's stairs. Yet in later seasons, Bates' injury turns into a 'subtle limp' with Bates' cane being written out with no explanation.
