This historical vignette explores the considerations of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physiology or Medicine by vetting the Nobel Prize chances of Dr Gustaf Zander (1835-1920). His way to stardom started 150 years ago when he began mechanizing the passive and active movements that physical therapists manually used to treat diseases. A glance at his machines shows that they parallel surprisingly well what can be found in modern fitness studios. By combining files from the Nobel Prize Archive and sources from the first physical therapists, this vignette pieces together why Zander was considered one of the best candidates for the Nobel Prize in 1916. By providing this glimpse of history, questions about the origin of physical therapy concepts and the profession of the physical therapist are raised.
这篇历史小品文通过审查古斯塔夫·赞德博士（1835 - 1920）获得诺贝尔奖的可能性，探讨了诺贝尔生理学或医学奖委员会的考量因素。他走向明星之路始于150年前，当时他开始将物理治疗师手动用于治疗疾病的被动和主动运动进行机械化。看一眼他的机器就会发现，它们与现代健身工作室里的设备惊人地相似。通过结合诺贝尔奖档案馆的文件和首批物理治疗师的资料来源，这篇小品文拼凑出了赞德在1916年被认为是诺贝尔奖最佳候选人之一的原因。通过展现这段历史，引发了关于物理治疗概念起源和物理治疗师职业的问题。
