Some individuals who had poliomyelitis 20 to 30 years ago are now reporting a recurrence of symptoms of weakness in the same muscle groups that were weakened during the initial onset of the disease. Electrophysiological findings on EMG and repetitive stimulation studies identify changes peculiar to this disease. Non-fatiguing progressive resistive exercises have been used to strengthen muscle groups demonstrating this secondary weakness after the muscles have been identified by electrophysiological studies. Favorable results are reported after non-fatiguing exercises which, combined with Occupational Therapy and appropriate orthotic management, have resulted in improvement in function of ambulation and activities of daily living. The causes of muscle atrophy and pain seen in these individuals are also discussed.
一些20到30年前患过小儿麻痹症的人现在报告说，当初患病时出现过肌无力症状的同一肌肉群再次出现了肌无力症状。肌电图（EMG）和重复刺激研究的电生理结果确定了这种疾病特有的变化。在通过电生理研究确定肌肉后，已采用非疲劳性渐进抗阻运动来增强表现出这种继发性肌无力的肌肉群。据报告，非疲劳性运动与职业治疗及适当的矫形器管理相结合后取得了良好效果，改善了行走功能和日常生活活动能力。文中还讨论了这些人出现肌肉萎缩和疼痛的原因。
