Ontario Society For Crippled
Children Follows Up Polio Cases
In a vast co-operative scheme,
with the two-fold objective of
amassing statistical information
on polio cases and of furthering
rehabilitation of victims of the
crippling disease, field nurses of
the Ontario Society for Crippled
Children have been w o r k i n g
under sponsorship of the Ontario
Government for several years.
In the past five years, more
than 1,500 individual cases have
been studied by the nurses, oh
the information provided by the
Ontario Department of Health’s
branch which is devoted to the
study of epidemics. But these
visits resulted in a great many
more calls by the nurses, as well
as enlisting the services of top
flight specialists, because of the
treatment courses which were
instigated by the original visits.
The plan was originated fol
lowing discussions by the Pro
vincial Department’s officers and
the officials of the Society. The
former was interested in amass
ing material for epidemiological
studies on polio: What were the
after-effects of the disease, how
long did these results last, what
treatment was provided after
hospital discharges and so on?
The Society was interested be
cause of its basic objective: The
treatment of crippled children.
Several years ago, the depart
ment evolved a standard form
which it supplied to the Society’s
nurses. It then began forward
ing the names and addresses of
all persons, reported by physi
cians, hospitals, clinics, sanitoria
and so on, who had been treated
for polio. The mutual objectives
have been found to dovetail well
in the result—the government is
acquiring a fund of information
on which to base mass studies;
the Society has found hundreds
of children who were not receiv
ing adequate, if any, therapeutic
treatment to restore them to
normal or near normal con
dition.
In tile Society’s files are dup
licates of hundreds of reports
forwarded to the department.
Most of the names of the per
sons are reproduced time and
again in other files; those files
which report on patients provid
ed with diagnosis, treatment and
follow-up treatment by the So
ciety’s nurses.

The reports for the govern
ment indicate in most cases a
lot of pains-taking work for the
nurses and the office staff of
the Society at its headquarters
in Toronto. The government pro
vides basic information about
the patient: name, address (last
known), name of physician who
handled the case (if known)
and so on. The nurse in the
area of the address then hunts
out the patient, examines him,
gets all details about any treat
ment since the last known by
the government and reports all
this back to the government.
In file after file, however,
this has involved tracing back
to the hospital for its last record
on the patient, contracting the
physician of that time and get
ting his records, analyzing these
in terms of the patient’s present
condition and so on. Typical
cases would be these:
Case A: Thirteen-year-old girl
of Arnprior. Treated at Ottawa
Civic Hospital by Kenney treat
ment. Had been admitted in
August, 1948, and developed
partial paralysis of arm. Now
has fair use of arm. Lives with
family of adequate means in
comfortable home. Not receiving
sufficient therapy. Arrangements
made foi’ physician to examine
and advise therapy. Nurse teaches
mother how to administer ther
apy -because of family’s inability
to go to ‘ city. Then follow
months of reports and eventual
almost complete recovery.
Case B: Seven-year-old boy
from Scarboro Junction. Admit-
ed to Hospital for Sick Children.
Partial paralysis of shoulders
and one arm. Physicians report
ed then, and again on release
from hospital, doubt -as to con
dition being polio-induced. No
further knowledge until Society's
nurse Visits boy a year later,
finds evidence of paralysis dis
appearing but spasmodic condi
tion when arm at rest. Study
by .physician shows original con
dition must have been caused
by convulsions. Written off gov
ernment record as polio case.
On an average of one case
everyday of the year, nurses are
working in this co-operative pro
gram with the government. The
result has been hundreds of
children receiving treatment who
would.otherwise get little if any.
