Boy pulling on weight equipment

Description
Young white boy patient sitting on a table holding pulley with no weights attached in the physiotherapy room and is distracted by the photographer.
Note
No date; likely 1920s, Handwritten note inserted with photo: In this picture he is pulling the ropes up and down but no weights are attached. He is doing this to gain strength in his hand- to grasp. We tried to get him to watch the ropes but he was so curious about the light reflector the photographer had. Gelatin silver print.
