Médico judío en Alemania, el neurólogo Ludwig Guttmann llegó al Reino Unido huyendo de los nazis al inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se hizo cargo de la unidad de parapléjicos de un hospital en Buckinghamshire. Escandalizado por la forma en que trataban a los enfermos, fuertemente sedados y llenos de llagas por estar atados a la cama, Guttmann transformó radicalmente el tratamiento. Se deshizo de los antiguos equipos y de los sedantes e incluyó actividades deportivas y musicales en la rutina diaria de los pacientes. Aunque al principio sus colegas y superiores se opusieron, pronto demostró la efectividad de su método en el estado físico y emocional de los enfermos, que le trataban como un héroe. Al término de la guerra, Guttmann empieza a organizar competiciones deportivas en silla de ruedas a nivel nacional, sembrando el germen de los futuros Juegos Paralímpicos, cuya primera edición inauguró él mismo en 1960.
