BOOK REVIEW
Physical Measures in the Treatment o f  Poliomyelitis by 
R .  J. S. R e y n o l d s , S.R.N., M .C.S.P., Superintendent 
Physiotherapist, Queen M ary’s H ospital for Children, 
C arshalton, England. Price 12.v. 6d.

This is a detailed and practical description of the treat­
ment o f patients through the acute to th e convalescent 
stages of poliomyelitis, by one who has had this alm ost 
unique experience in a Poliomyelitis unit of world wide 
reputation.

Physiotherapists dealing with the ever increasing problem 
o f poliomyelitis will do well to  read and study the methods 
used with great success by an experienced member of the 
profession overseas.

The book is divided into clear chapters dealing with 
every aspect o f the disease and the treatm ent o f the various 
stages.

In  the chapter on Re-education of the N eurom uscular 
System, a detailed description is given of the method used I 
at Queen M ary’s H ospital. This emphasises how different 
one m ethod is from  another and proves that good and careful 
treatm ent is the factor th a t counts in the end, no m atter 
w hat method is used. This is a small, easily read book 
and one full o f ideas and helpful suggestions.

The Adaptation o f  Recreational Activities fo r  M en in the 
Rehabilitation o f  Lower Limb Injuries by V e r d a  B a r c l a y .

This is a most inspiring and refreshing book, and a 
“ m u st” for all physiotherapists actively engaged in rehabili­
tation.

It is inspiring because it is clearly presented, well illus­
trated with pin-men sketches and photographs of patients 
obviously enjoying the break from routine remedial activity.

It is refreshing because am ong the widely varied activities 
described there is no lack o f aim o r misrepresentation of 
uses.

The schemes described are those used at the Patshull 
Rehabilitation Centre, but are no t limited in their adapta­
bility and modification for other conditions and centres.
