Can someone more experienced than I have a look at this for NPOV issues? 24.116.243.149 22:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC) 1880 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tenzabear ( talk • contribs) 01:57, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Is it 1880 or 1886. I can find seemingly reliable sources that use each. THEN WHO WAS PHONE? ( talk) 15:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I noticed in the article on Dinah Shore that she recovered from polio, benefitting from a Sister Kenny regimen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.81.255.3 ( talk) 16:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Just saw this and had noticed the same statement about Martin Sheen, which is sourced: "Sheen contracted polio as a child and had to remain bedridden for a year. His doctor's treatment using Sister Kenny's method helped him regain use of his legs." sourced to "interview on Inside the Actors Studio , May 18, 2003" alacarte ( talk) 14:56, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
This gentleman is mentioned out of the blue with no explanation as to who he is or why he is speaking:
"At the time the normal medical procedure for dealing with infantile paralysis consisted of immobilising the affected limbs in splints," said Jim Franklin.

It's a nice story about her life... and how moving that some celebrities liked her approach. That is, however, what can be told about a lot of alternative treatments that use merely the placebo effect.
In a Wikipedia article, I'd expect (in the intro and a dedicated section below) some information about her method from today's point of view. Not just out of the blue that it was "innovative", which says nothing about effectiveness. Rather: Is this the standard treatment today? If so, when was it recognized as such? Or is the traditional "immobilization" approach still the standard today? If not, how has her work influenced (or not influenced) today's standard treatment? How about studies evaluating her work? How about rigorous studies according to today's empirical standards? How do today's doctors or scientists view her work? etc. ... Thanks, Ibn Battuta ( talk) 19:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
