Description

Infantile paralysis (or, more properly, poliomyelitis) is a disease which attacks adults as well as children. This film gives a general account, showing a number of cases, of how the disease affects its victims, and of the modern techniques of rehabilitation that are used. Nowadays there is much more chance of full recovery than formerly. Commentary by Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt and Michael Redgrave.
