Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Manual of Infantile Paralysis: With Modern Methods of Treatment In this volume we record our personal experience with acute poliomyelitis, its epidemic appearance, symptomatology, diagnosis, and methods of treatment. The manual is as free from technical terms as is possible in the discussion of a disease whose lesions involve the nervous system and the intricate functions of the body which the nervous system initiates, co-ordinates, and directs. The most recent publication on the subject from the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research is a monograph said to be based on the study of 161 cases of acute poliomyelitis. This number of cases of poliomyelitis is little more than the average number of cases seen daily in the Infantile Paralysis Department of the Hospital for Deformities and Joint Diseases. We regard the daily attendance for treatment of 100 to 150 children the best testimonial from the parents of the benefit derived by their own children, and the children of others who fall under observation as they await treatment. The chapters on physical therapy and manipulative treatment arc written in plain language, that the parents of a case may read what is needed for a child, and why. The spontaneous improvement which occurs in a certain percentage of cases may be augmented, deformities prevented, and cases with serious disability remedied, by the reasonable methods of treatment here outlined. We have omitted reference to the obsolete and frequently misleading literature of the period which antedated the present pandemic of poliomyelitis.
