As Rhalius pointed out, the Pirates Theme is full of disabled ones. Peglegs, hook-hands, half-blinds etc.
The next batch to be released in September favours the peglegs again, almost every set (except the soldiers´ ones) contains such a klicky  8}

On a more serious note now, it is nice there will be a some klickies with disabilities like the people in the real - representative - world.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Are there any Playmo walkers? There are crutches and wheelchairs, but I can't remember if there are walkers.

No, there aren't. I've been wishing for that too. Actually there could be better crutches, too.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

More realistic crutches and walking aids would be great.
My eldest son is deaf and listens to music with his hearing aid on the 'T' setting and with an audio neck loop attached to his ipod to transmit the sound.  Playmobil probably don't realise it, but the black neck loop which comes with one of the mystery fi?ures is perfect for this.

That's interesting, Elaine. I hadn't realized that about the neck loop. Both of my husband's parents are deaf, with very little residual hearing.
