About William John Little
- William John Little (1810–1894) was an English surgeon who is credited with the first medical identification of spastic diplegia, when he observed it in the 1860s amongst children.
- While spasticity surely existed before that point, Little was the first person to medically record the condition in writing.
- Thus, for many years, spastic diplegia was known as Little's Disease; only later did the name change.
- Also, Little founded the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital of London.
