Among the late effects of poliomyelitis is the Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS), characterized by increased muscle strength loss, abnormal fatigue and pain after a period of stability of at least 15 years. The incidence and prevalence of PPS are unknown in the world and in Brazil, depending on the diagnostic criteria. The diagnosis of PPS is made by exclusion and there is no specific laboratory test, these only help to rule out other diseases. There is no curative treatment for PPS. Its etiology remains unknown. Strategies for their clinical management aim reducing muscle overusing and a balance active lifestyle is recommended to minimize the symptoms.
