Supports Piper Fatigue Scale for postpolio fatigue assessment; leaves open routine clinical adoption pending prospective data.
Strohschein et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Postpolio syndrome (n=89). Postpolio syndrome vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Piper Fatigue Scale scores (p=< 0.001). The Piper Fatigue Scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring postpolio fatigue, with patients scoring significantly higher than healthy controls (P < 0.001) and high reliability (alpha = 0.98).
