People with late effects of polio experience both activity limitations and participation restrictions, which are only weakly associated, requiring separate rehabilitation focus.
In people with late effects of polio, activity limitations and participation restrictions are only weakly associated, indicating both should be specifically addressed in rehabilitation.
The results show that people with LEoP perceive activity limitations as well as participation restrictions and that these concepts are only weakly associated. Therefore, during rehabilitation both activity limitations and participation restrictions need to be addressed in people with LEoP. This new knowledge may assist rehabilitation professionals when developing and implementing targeted interventions for people with LEoP.
Andersson et al. (2026) studied this question. People with late effects of polio experience both activity limitations and participation restrictions, which are only weakly associated, requiring separate rehabilitation focus.
