Sara Geisman,
third-year student in the Doctor
of Physical Therapy (DPT) program,
examines Marie McManus who has a
prior diagnosis of poliomyelitis.
Although polio has been eradicated
in the U.S., it is estimated that
between 12 and 20 million
individuals are living in the
world with a prior diagnosis of
poliomyelitis. Every year the MUSC
Division of Physical Therapy
Program in the College of Health
Professions hosts a Post-Polio
Clinic as part of the educational
curriculum. This year, 18
volunteers participated in the
clinic and support group meeting.
Individuals interested in
participating next year may call
Dr. Holly Wise at 792-4051.|
