[Late complications of poliomyelitis].
We examined 73 31-55-year-old postpoliomyelitis patients who had paralytic form of the disease before the age of 11. It was found that progression of neuro-muscular signs (pareses, atrophies, myalgias), typical for postpoliomyelitis muscular atrophy (PMA) emerged in 43 patients. Classical statistical analysis of clinical and electromyographical data and special statistical method of extreme parameter grouping confirmed PMA only in 8 out of the above 43; 3 forms of postpoliomyelitis syndrome were recognised.
