Sister Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian bush nurse, revolutionized the treatment of polio with her innovative approach. She introduced the use of hot compresses and passive movement on affected limbs instead of traditional plaster casts. Her groundbreaking methods earned her international acclaim as she worked in Australia, Europe, and the United States. Sister Kenny’s principles of muscle rehabilitation became the basis for modern physical therapy and were immortalized in the 1946 film “Sister Kenny.”
