My brother, born 1944, got polio before the vaccine was available and had this type of treatment. He was "lucky" because it was a mild case. I wasn't born until 1964, so I only knew him after he was grown; and sadly not too long either. Died of a massive heart attack at 36 years old, due to the damage from polio.
