The effects of polio that occur decades after the disease has run
its course-weakness, fatigue, pain, intolerance to cold, difficulty
with breathing and swallowing-are often more devastating than the
original disease. This book on the diagnosis and management of
polio-related health problems is an essential resource for polio
survivors and their families and health care providers. Dr. Julie
K. Silver, who has both personal and professional experience with
post-polio syndrome, begins the book by defining and describing PPS
and providing a historical overview of its diagnosis and treatment.
Chapters that follow discuss finding good medical care, dealing
with symptoms, maintaining proper nutrition and weight, preventing
osteoporosis and falls, and sustaining mobility. Dr. Silver reviews
the latest in braces, shoes, assistive devices, and wheelchairs and
scooters. She also explores issues involving managing pain,
surgery, complementary and alternative medicine, safe and
comfortable living environments, insurance and disability, and sex
and intimacy.
