Title
Managing the Late Effects of Polio from a Life-Course Perspective
Subject
This paper reviews the implications of recent research investigations for the management of patients with
PPS. It proposes that current knowledge supports the view that PPS is a secondary condition frequently
occurring during the life course of people with residual motor impairment from paralytic poliomyelitis
and does not support the view that PPS is a distinct pathological process which should be labelled a disease or illness.
