Polio Place

This excellent resource describes diagnosis, evaluation, management and rehabilitation of post-polio syndrome. With an emphasis for the clinical reader, the editors have drawn information from an assembly of doctors, researchers and allied health professionals with extensive clinical experience with polio patients. Also useful to the polio patient, the book features current guidelines for specific rehabilitation therapies including exercise therapy, aquatic therapy, energy conservation measures and the impact of polio on psychosocial issues.
