Post-polio syndrome and rehabilitation

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2010
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is the commonly affected term to describe the symptoms that may develop many years after acute paralytic poliomyelitis. The etiology of PPS is still unclear. An overuse of enlarged motor units is suspected causing denervation again due to distal degeneration of axons.
