This book, written by leaders in the field, describes the features of this disorder and its diagnosis, evaluation, management, and rehabilitation. It reviews the problems specific to people with PPS, primarily fatigue, muscle weakness, and chronic pain, and addresses the whole person through chapters on psychosocial issues, aging and prevention of secondary disability, and assistive devices to help with activities of daily living. Current evidence-based guidelines for specific rehabilitation therapies, such as exercise therapy, aquatic therapy, and energy conservation measures, are covered. Audience Physiatrists, neurologists

P ost-Polio Syndrome comes at a time when there is a demand for guidelines in diagnosing the post-polio syndrome and caring for patients with the syndrome who have unusual physical problems and medical needs. There is little else on the market for the clinical practitioner.

Please Tell-A-Friend about this article and bring awareness to Post-Polio Syndrome. Whilst Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) and M.E. resemble one another in many ways this does not mean that they are one and the same. Similar characteristics include fatigue, lack of endurance and aches, pains and weakness in muscles. Due to this similarity some PPS sufferers are misdiagnosed as suffering from M.E. (a condition far more familiar to modern doctors). The management of these symptoms is also similar being mainly based around pacing or energy management – that is striking a balance between over and under activity. The two diverge in their cause – PPS can only occur in a person with a history of Polio, and is not an immediate consequence but occurs 30 or more years later and can equally affect those who appear to have made a full recovery as well as those left with a permanent disability. Whilst there is not full agreement on the cause of PPS the most common theory is that overused motor neurons experience a premature ageing, to understand the reasoning behind this it is useful to have some understanding of Polio. Poliomyelitis (or infantile paralysis) is actually due to one of three viruses, which cause a range of symptoms from a short-term flu-like illness to paralysis ranging from one or more limbs requiring physiotherapy for rehabilitation, to the whole body including the muscles of breathing and swallowing necessitating the use of the most famous image of polio - the iron lung. Recovery can be complete with a return to normal life or partial with a lingering disability, most often paralysis or weakness of one or more limbs, in very rare cases total paralysis may persist indefinitely resulting in a long term dependence on ventilation in a similar way to those with severe spinal-cord injuries.

Sponsored by: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study, conducted at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the National Rehabilitation Hospital, and the National Institutes of Health, will examine whether the drug Modafinil can decrease fatigue in patients with post-polio syndrome. Many people who have had polio develop weakness and severe fatigue several years after their recovery from the acute disease. Modafinil is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to improve wakefulness in patients with narcolepsy (disease in which patients have excessive daytime sleepiness) and has been used to treat patients with fatigue related to other medical conditions, such as multiple sclerosis. This study will compare the effects of two doses of Modafinil and of a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) on fatigue in patients with post-polio syndrome. Patients who develop fatigue, weakness, muscle pain or atrophy, and functional loss at least 15 years after recovering from polio and whose symptoms cannot be attributed to another cause may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical and neurological examinations, fatigue rating scales, electrocardiogram, blood and urine tests, drowsiness and depression evaluations, and an electroymogram (EMG) to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. For the EMG, electrodes (small metal discs) are taped to the skin and a needle is inserted into a muscle to record the electrical activity.
