Post Polio Research Paper

You see,polio or poliomyelitis is a serious disease that affects the nerves of the spine and often makes a person permanently crippled,the virus originated from the poliovirus in 1894,the first outbreak of polio in epidemic formed in the U.S. occurred in vermont with 132 cases.But the first actually polio infected human was discovered in Europe in the 20th century.Also polio is contracted by poor sanitation areas and the virus easily spreads through the fecal-oral route also by contaminated water or food, and is transmitted by saliva.
There are 2 types of polio,they are non-paralytic polio and paralytic polio.Non-paralytic polio is when some people develop symptoms from the poliovirus contract a type of polio that doesn’t lead to paralysis …show more content…
A definite increased incidence of problems is een after the patient is more than 30 years post-polio.The basis of theses problems is chronic mechanical stain of weak musculature and sub-sitting ligaments.Overuse can cause increasing weakness resulting in pain and decreasing function .it is therefore important to follow polio patients closely especially those that are more than 30 years post polio.It signs of overuse or chronic mechanical stains are noted if the treatment is not delayed.On the other hand there is not really short effects of polio because once you have polio it will always be with you for the rest of youf life,but there is something called post-polio syndrome this is a condition that affects polio survivors eron n intial acute attack of the poliomyelitis virus.Most often polio ,survivors start to experience gradual new weakening in musclee that were previously affected bty the polio infection .The most common symptoms include slowly progressive muscle weaknes fatigue (both generalized and muscular) and a gradual dceraese in the size of muscles.Pain from joint degeneration and incerasign skeletaldeformities such as scoliosis is common and may precede the weakness and muscle atrophy .Some individuals experience only minor symptoms while others develop visible muscle weakness and atrophy.Also post polio syndrome is raraely life threatening ,but the symptoms can significantly interfere with an individuals ability to functio indepenedently.REspiratry muscle weakness fro instance you can have troublre breathing ,affecting daytime functions and sleep .Weakness in swallowing muscle can result in asoiration of food an dliquids into the lungs and lead to
