Coming in the Front Door A History of Three Canadian Physiotherapists Through Two World Wars
Bibliographic record
Abstract
T h e d e v a s t a t i o n o f industrialized warfare of the First World War provided an abundance of patients needing help to re-educate wasted muscles or learn to use prosthetic limbs.The Canadian military medical establishment gradually realized the usefulness of "functional re-training" for wounded soldiers and set up schools to train physiotherapists.Not thinking ahead, the schools were closed at war's end.However, in the interwar years some far-sighted women developed a university training program and a regulating organization so that by the Second World War physiotherapists were in a position to significantly contribute to the war effort.The wartime development of this female-dominated profession will be shown through the stories of three Canadian women of successive generations.Résumé : La dévastation provoquée par la Première Guerre mondiale, véritable conflit industriel, a laissé une abondance de blessés qui durent apprendre à remettre en fonction des muscles abîmés ou à utiliser des prothèses.Graduellement, les autorités médicales militaires canadiennes se rendirent compte de l'utilité de la rééducation fonctionnelle chez ces soldats et mirent sur pied des écoles destinées à former des physiothérapeutes.Sans se préoccuper de l'avenir, on ferma les écoles à la fin de la guerre.Toutefois, dans les années de l'entre-deuxguerres, des femmes, prévoyantes, développèrent un programme de formation universitaire et créèrent un organisme de réglementation de sorte que les physiothérapeutes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale puissent être en mesure de contribuer à l'effort de guerre.Le développement, pendant la guerre, de cette profession où dominait un personnel féminin, est illustré par l'histoire de trois femmes appartenant à trois générations successives.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
