Description: Segment 1 The patient's history is given by the intertitles. They explain that he is now 16-years-old and has been unable to use his legs since he was two due to infantile spinal paralysis as he has practically no hip, knee or foot muscles left. He is shown prior to treatment, moving in the only way he is able to, by crouching down close to the ground and moving his feet with his hands. He is shown moving both clothed and nude. Two helpers lift him up under his arms to show that he does not have the use of his legs. Intertitles describe the treatment: osteotomy below the trochanter on both legs, osteotomy above both knee joints, plastic extension of the hamstring tensions and bloodless correction of the foot. The patient is shown lying face down and a doctor points out the scars on his legs. The intertitles describe how the bones were positioned when bandaged: the hip joins slightly flexed 15 degrees, knee joints extended 180 degrees and ankle joints depressed about 15 degrees. The patient is seen suspended between two stools, with someone holding him up. He is next shown wearing knee splints, and using two walking sticks to move about. The intertitles describe how after massage and exercise for five months, the patient was able to stand and walk upright. He is seen walking with the aid of two walking sticks.
