Abstract
THE passing of Francis Warner has removed one of the last of the group of physicians and physiologists who studied movements and gaits, attitudes and postures in the 'seventies of the last century. Much of the study was conducted by means of pneumatic tubes connected with Marey's recording tambours. This phase of Warner's work was set out in his well-known work, “Physical Expression,” and in his Hunterian lectures to the Royal College of Surgeons. Modern electrical methods and kinematography have modified and extended the conclusions then reached. Warner's clinical observations on the postures and movements of nervous and defective children made at the East London Hospital for Children, and later supplemented at the London Hospital, still remain standards for all observers.
