This study has been done to determine if there is any beneficial effect from the use of nonfatiguing strengthening exercises in the presence of post-polio syndrome. Following accurate identification by EMG of muscles that could be called "post-polio muscles," the use of physiotherapy by offering nonfatiguing strengthening exercises provided either a maintenance or a beneficial effect to these muscles. Only one muscle demonstrated reduced strength during the treatment protocol for reasons unassociated with the project. All other muscles, 31 in 6 patients, demonstrated either maintenance of pretreatment strength (17 muscles), or improvement (14 muscles). We feel that the combination of accurate identification of these muscles, followed by strict adherence to a supervised program of nonfatiguing exercise for a period of at least 3 months, provides help for these patients who have developed recurrent weakness 20 years after normal function following poliomyelitis.
本研究旨在确定在患有小儿麻痹后遗症的情况下，进行无疲劳强化训练是否具有任何有益效果。通过肌电图准确识别出可称为“小儿麻痹肌”的肌肉后，采用提供无疲劳强化训练的物理治疗方法，对这些肌肉产生了维持或有益的效果。在治疗方案实施期间，只有一块肌肉因与本项目无关的原因出现了力量下降。在6名患者的31块其他肌肉中，有17块肌肉维持了治疗前的力量，14块肌肉力量得到改善。我们认为，准确识别这些肌肉，随后严格坚持至少3个月的有监督的无疲劳训练计划，能为那些在小儿麻痹症后正常功能20年后出现反复肌无力的患者提供帮助。
