Headline Japan: "The first step forward" by Dominique Darbois, 1956 
Description Shigenori Kameyama was little more than a year old when the polio virus found him in the hamlet of Tsukuni on Kyushu Island, some 1,800 kms from Tokyo. He became completely paralysed: he could not lift a finger nor wiggle a toe. Undaunted his parents - a humble family of limited means - decided to move to Tokyo where, several years later, Shigenori was admitted to the Seishi Ryogo En, a hospital, school and home for crippled children founded in 1937 by Dr Kenji Takagi, pioneer of rehabilitation work in Japan. There he began the long battle to regain part use of his limbs - just one of many Japanese children who have been helped indirectly by WHO and UNICEF, by the provision of fellowships for Japanese health personnel to go abroad and study the latest methods of rehabilitation.

Shigenori, like a child learning to swim, tries out his uncertain muscles suspended in a sling.
