“Exercise Programs should be designed and supervised for 2-4 months by physicians, physical therapists, and/or other health care professionals who are familiar with the unique pathology of Post Polio Syndrome. The programs should be custom-tailored and individualized. Also, the supervisor should monitor client’s pain, fatigue, weakness, and make adjustments to the protocol as needed to translate to independent program late.”
