Hosp Pract (1995).

Abstract
The disorder consists of fatigue accompanied by new muscle weakness and muscle pain or, for patients whose acute polio had included bulbar involvement, new difficulty in swallowing or change in voice. The epidemiology remains unclear, fueling anxiety among polio survivors. Yet its course is not drastically progressive, and impairment is usually limited.
