  • Poliomyelitis can lead to paralysis and long-term issues for survivors, such as post-polio syndrome (PPS), characterized by ongoing muscular weakness and fatigue.

  • Results showed that the PPS group had significantly lower exercise capacity and performance on functional tests compared to both the control and non-PPS polio groups, highlighting greater impairments in submaximal activities.
