I'm sorry to hear chicken was paralyzed from her illness. You can try keeping her separate from the flock with her own pen and access to food and water that is low to the ground. Low perches and nest boxes may also help. However, if she is kept with the flock, the other birds may pick on her if she seems "different" and can't keep up, which may lead to additional injury. If she is getting picked on, keeping her separate is needed. If she's not in a predator-proof area and can't move around well, she is also going to be a bigger target to predators, so that is something else to keep in mind.
