Abstract

Postpoliomyelitis syndrome describes a 'new' weakness, unrelated to any other neurological or medical disorder. It appears 10 to 15 years or more after recovery from the initial paralysis. This new weakness interferes with activities of daily living. The management of postpoliomyelitis syndrome may include orthotics, special exercises, a change in their lifestyle, or a combination of these regimens. This article is especially concerned with knee joint stabilization in various deformities that are weakened by the postpoliomyelitis syndrome.
