Case of Swiss neurologist Robert Bing (1921). Boy using a hands-and-feet bear crawl: infantile spinal paralysis. So-called "handwalker" as a result of severe dorsal and lumbar poliomyelitis. Note the marked atrophy in the pelvic girdle and leg muscles. (Source: Bing R. A textbook of nervous diseases for students and practising physicians in thirty lectures.
