Abstract:
Proper physical activities may improve strength and endurance, and improve flexibility and coordination, which contrib-ute to improving the quality of life and independence in patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS). Patients should exer-cise in a controlled and sensible manner, avoiding intensive training and excessive muscle use, for fear that exacerbated symptoms and further loss of muscle strength appear. Exercises should not be performed until the patients have been checked and evaluated by experts, followed closely and with certain conditions. The exercise intensity should be adjust-ed and not exceed the patient's fatigue threshold. Individualized exercise prescription should be carried out after disease, surgery or injury.
