Several authors have reported on post-polio syndrome, indicating a decline in muscle strength in individuals years after the onset of poliomyelitis. These reports include suggestions that strenuous exercise programs are contraindicated and may have deleterious effects for patients with post-polio syndrome. The purpose of this case study was to examine the effects of an aggressive, six-week isokinetic exercise program on a 59-year-old patient with post-polio syndrome. Peak torque values were assessed before and during the exercise program, and 6 and 22 weeks following cessation of the exercise program. The results indicate no deleterious effects secondary to the exercise program. The authors suggest future research strategies to investigate the efficacy of exercise programs for patients with post-polio syndrome.
几位作者报道了小儿麻痹后遗症,指出在小儿麻痹症发病数年的个体中肌肉力量有所下降。这些报告表明,剧烈运动计划是禁忌的,可能会对小儿麻痹后遗症患者产生有害影响。本案例研究的目的是检验一项为期六周的积极等速运动计划对一名59岁小儿麻痹后遗症患者的影响。在运动计划开始前、运动期间、运动计划停止后6周和22周评估峰值扭矩值。结果表明该运动计划没有产生有害影响。作者建议了未来的研究策略,以调查运动计划对小儿麻痹后遗症患者的疗效。
