Legal rulings are tied to one's ability. So, whatever part of your body you are able to wash with water, wash it, and perform for the rest. This is the view of the Shafi'is and Hanbalis. If that is difficult, then there is no harm in sufficing with tayammum, which is the view of the Malikis and Hanafis.
