The Canadian medical team at the 21st Olympiad--11 therapists, 8 physicians and 2 nurses--was larger than necessary, partly because the Canadian athletes were not affected by the stresses of competition in a foreign land and partly because many used the medical facilities established by le comité organisateur des Jeux olympiques. There were few injuries of a serious nature or of lasting consequence among the Canadian athletes; only 10 of the 475 athletes were withdrawn from competition on the advice of the medical staff. On the average the athletes had two visits to a physician and five treatments by a therapist. Track and field competitors accounted for the largest number of visits to the therapy clinic, and musculoskeletal problems were the most frequent type. Most of the treatment consisted of local supportive measures.
参加第21届奥运会的加拿大医疗队——11名治疗师、8名医生和2名护士——规模超出了必要程度，部分原因是加拿大运动员未受到在异国他乡参赛压力的影响，部分原因是许多人使用了奥运会组委会设立的医疗设施。加拿大运动员中受重伤或有长期后果的情况很少；475名运动员中只有10人根据医务人员的建议退出了比赛。运动员平均看了两次医生，接受了五次治疗师的治疗。田径运动员去治疗诊所就诊的次数最多，肌肉骨骼问题是最常见的类型。大多数治疗采取了局部支持性措施。
