"The Norwegian Polio Study 1994" was conducted in order to survey the medical and social situation and the needs of polio victims. A questionnaire consisting of 133 questions with subquestions was sent to a total of 2,392 polio victims in Norway. 1,449 persons responded, of whom 66% were between 45 and 64 years of age. When specifying new health problems, between 55% and 85% stated that they had experienced increasing weakness of the muscles affected by polio, weakness in previously non-affected muscles, fatigue, intolerance to cold and/or pain in muscles and joints. Only 17% were satisfied with the public health services for polio victims. On the other hand, 67% of those who had undergone a comprehensive evaluation and had been treated at a central hospital were satisfied. The study indicates an obvious need to build up expertise in multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment of post-polio victims.
开展“1994年挪威小儿麻痹症研究”是为了调查小儿麻痹症患者的医疗和社会状况以及需求。一份包含133个问题及子问题的调查问卷被发送给了挪威总计2392名小儿麻痹症患者。1449人进行了回复，其中66%的人年龄在45至64岁之间。在明确新的健康问题时，55%至85%的人表示他们经历了受小儿麻痹症影响的肌肉力量不断减弱、之前未受影响的肌肉出现无力、疲劳、不耐寒和/或肌肉及关节疼痛。只有17%的人对为小儿麻痹症患者提供的公共卫生服务感到满意。另一方面，在接受过综合评估并在中心医院接受过治疗的人中，67%的人感到满意。该研究表明，明显需要在小儿麻痹症后遗症患者的多学科评估和治疗方面积累专业知识。
