I can use my $57K long-term disability compensation income to contribute to my wife's IRA or Roth?

No. You must have compensation from working to contribute to an IRA. Disability income is not compensation from working.
Go to this IRS website for Publication 590-A and on page 7 Table 1.1 shows what type of compensation is allowed for contributions to an IRA - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590a.pdf#page=7
