May warrant selective endurance testing in prior-polio survivors; leaves open optimal monitoring intervals and progression predictors.
Quantitative muscle testing reveals impaired peripheral endurance or voluntary drive in about 30% of prior-polio patients, with slow progression that is not easily predicted by original illness factors.
Gandevia et al. (2000) studied Post-polio syndrome. Quantitative muscle testing using twitch interpolation was evaluated on Impaired peripheral endurance and/or voluntary drive to muscles. Quantitative muscle testing revealed that peripheral endurance and/or voluntary drive to muscles is impaired in about 30% of prior-polio patients, with slow and unpredictable progression.
