HELP
CONTINUE
POLIO
TREATMENT
SISTER KENNY
FOUNDATION
Minneapolis, Minn.—The train-
ing of highly-specialized Kenny
Therapists to carry out the physi-
cal treatment of all phases of
1 polio continues as one of the
major activities of the Sister Eliz-
: abeth Kenny Foundation.
Kenny Therapists are registered
nurses or physical therapists,
ma 1 e or fe-
male, whohave
! received addi-
tional post-
graduate
training under
j scholarships
provided by
> the Kenny
Foundation.
The course Is
} of 18 months’
! duration, with
nurses re-
quired to take
an additional
12 months of
physical therapy training at the
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minne-
sota.
The acutely-ill polio patient,
shortly after admission to a Kenny
center, is placed under care of a
Kenny Therapist who works with
him daily, under medical super-
vision, up to the time of discharge,
administering the technique as
taught by the late Sister Kenny.
Treatment administered by the
Kenny Therapist is aimed at re-
educating muscles and teaching
patients to use in the most-effec-
tive manner possible their re-
(R«!ta««l by the Kenny Foundation1* Medical Steff)
i
maining muscle strength.
The Kenny Therapist in-
structs the nurse In correct
body position tor the patient
and range of motion for the
affected areas. For some types
of cases, exercises for strength-
ening the uninvolved parts
ere started at this time also.
Kenny polio patients receive
constant attention from a group of
pediatricians who are responsible
for the over-all direction of the
treatment program. Quite com-
monly, special medical problems
arise, requiring the transplanting
of a muscle by the orthopedist, the
provision of a special airway by
an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist
or, as has happened, the delivery
of a baby by an obstetrician while
the mother is confined to an iron
lung. Perhaps a patient may need
the aid of a psychiatrist or •
urologist.
The Kenny Therapist is
aware that she must have
her patient’s confidence !<J
achieve maximum results
from the knowledge and skill
which she possesses. Patients
are treated as individuals
and given constant encour-
agement but are not per-
mitted to build up hopes
beyond a practical and rea-
sonable goal.
There is no charge for the
Kenny treatment. Admission to
Kenny hospitals or treatment cen-
ters is through referral by a
doctor.
