In addition to the manifestation of pathological body symptoms and processes, the course of a disease is marked by significant changes in the perspectives of the victim and his family. Communications of hospital personnel on the problems of prognostic uncertainty and the gradient structuring of the physiotherapeutic regime had the effect of lengthening the recovery-time perspective of child polio cases and their parents and altering their concept of recovery. This had both functional and dysfunctional consequences for the paralyzed child's eventual return to home and community
