Abstract

This muscle chart used to evaluate the strength in the abdominal wall was typical of those designed for patients suffering from poliomyelitis (polio). Such charts were used to determine the kind and amount of exercise therapy for an individual. They also provided a quick visual reference for the physiotherapist as to their patient’s progress.
