Muscles are meant to be used. When muscles are not used they can atrophy, or become weak and non functional. Those that are physically handicap often have difficulty maintaining the mobility necessary for sustaining muscle. Because of this they are susceptible to muscular atrophy.

Also, things like therapy and exercise can help with range of motion which increases the types of tasks the physically handicapped can perform.
