title: Another look at polio and postpolio syndrome.
abstract: Polio survivors will likely be accessing the health care system because of acute and/or chronic conditions as they age. Therefore, they will again be interacting with health care professionals, especially orthopaedic and rehabilitation nurses. A comprehensive understanding of polio and postpolio syndrome will give orthopaedic and rehabilitation nurses the knowledge they will need to help polio survivors and their families achieve their highest potential and quality of life.
