Post-poliomyelitis syndrome is defined as a clinical syndrome of new weakness, fatigue and pain which can occur several decades following recovery from paralytic poliomyelitis. The cause of this disorder is still unclear, and many possible etiologies have been proposed. The most widely accepted etiology was first proposed by Wiechers and Hubbell, which attributes PPS to a distal degeneration of massively enlarged post-polio motor units. Other probable contributing factors to the onset of this disease are the ageing process, and overuse. Currently, there is no specific diagnostic test for PPS, which continues to be a diagnosis of exclusion in an individual with symptoms and signs of the disorder.
后灰质炎综合征定义为一种新的虚弱、疲劳和疼痛的临床综合征，可在麻痹性脊髓灰质炎恢复后几十年发生。这种疾病的原因尚不清楚，提出了许多可能的病因。最广泛接受的病因学最初是由Wiechers 和 Hubbell 提出的，他们将 PPS 归因于大量增大的后灰质炎运动单位的远端变性。这种疾病发病的其他可能的促成因素是衰老过程和过度使用。目前，PPS 没有特定的诊断测试，在有症状和体征的个体中仍然是一种排除性诊断。
