Ventilator Management in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Postpoliomyelitis Syndrome: Twelve Years’ Experience

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1989
The ventilator management protocol followed over the last 12 years in 23 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and six polio survivors with chronic respiratory failure (CRF) secondary to the late effects of poliomyelitis or postpolio syndrome (PPS) is reviewed.

Motor unit characteristics in healthy subjects and those with postpoliomyelitis syndrome: A high‐density surface EMG study

Muscle & Nerve, 2004
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to identify optimal ways to detect neurogenic changes with high‐density surface electromyography (HD‐sEMG). For this purpose, we searched for the variables that most clearly discriminated between postpoliomyelitis and healthy subjects. We obtained HD‐sEMG from the quadriceps muscle at different force levels in nine

Vocal cord paralysis in postpoliomyelitis syndrome

The Laryngoscope, 1987
AbstractPostpoliomyelitis syndrome is characterized by new neuromuscular symptoms, including weakness, developing years after recovery from acute polio. Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is presented as a new manifestation of this syndrome. Other clinical features of post‐poliomyelitis syndrome in this report are discussed.

Excessive muscular fatigue in the postpoliomyelitis syndrome

Neurology, 1994
To investigate anterior tibial muscle fatigability and metabolism in postpoliomyelitis syndrome patients and controls, we performed measurements of force and relaxation time, as well as 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, during intermittent, low-intensity, isometric, voluntary exercise.

Brain Volume and Fatigue in Patients With Postpoliomyelitis Syndrome

PM&R, 2013
BackgroundAcute paralytic poliomyelitis is associated with encephalitis. Early brain inflammation may produce permanent neuronal injury with brain atrophy, which may result in symptoms such as fatigue. Brain volume has not been assessed in postpoliomyelitis syndrome (PPS).ObjectiveTo determine whether brain volume is decreased compared with that in ...

Overcoming barriers to work participation for patients with postpoliomyelitis syndrome

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2010
This study aimed to explore the perceived work ability of patients with postpoliomyelitis syndrome (PPS), to identify barriers and factors that are impeding or conducive, respectively, to work participation, and to identify possible interventions.Qualitative cross-sectional interview study with 17 subjects with PPS, 12 women and 5 men, mean age 49 ...
