Abstract:
Falls and fall-related injuries are common and important issues among the patients with poliomyelitis sequelae and post-polio syndrome(PPS).They have the same risk factors of falls as general elderly;in addition,fatigue,muscle and joint pain caused by poliomyelitis sequelae and PPS,and the inability to tolerate the cold can also lead to falls.Falls of-ten result in physical injury,further disability,fear of falling,and then avoidance of activity.In order to reduce falls of the patients with poliomyelitis sequela and PPS,we should evaluate the fall carefully,correct and eliminate the patient's misconceptions,analyze the cause and the mechanism,and reduce the risk factors,give the multi-disciplinary compre-hensive management plan and intervention measures,in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle,and prevent falls and avoid further disability.
