Lateral sclerosis


Muybridge completed several motion sequences using disabled individuals as models.  This was 
done in the interest of science and progress, and the model here had lateral sclerosis.  
Muybridge received letters from doctors and researches thanking him for these, btw.  
When I posted some similar images in the past, I was gratified to receive comments 
and notes from disabled individuals thanking me.  As one put it, "Yes we are disabled, 
but we can also proudly be naked."  And beautiful, I might add.

  1. The photo-metrics utilized by Muybridge helped to advance medical science. The film studies were of great use in spite of his critics.

    1. I agree. What he did was groundbreaking and done for science and not sensationalism.

  2. My favourite quote is "There is nothing wrong with you, you're good enough already".
