New Poster: Post-Polio Review Paper

Aimee Verrall presented a poster, Scoping Review of Secondary Health Conditions for People Aging with Post-Polio Syndrome, describing our results of our Search of Data Resources and Research Literature at the American Association of Public Health’s (APHA) annual meeting in November 2013. The review of the literature looked for types, frequency, timing, and severity of secondary health conditions (like pain, fatigue, depression) for people aging with post-polio syndrome.  We found that people aging with post-polio syndrome most commonly experienced fatigue and pain.  We found conflicting information about the timing and severity of secondary health conditions with age. The poster noted that we should be developing interventions to help people aging with post-polio syndrome cope with fatigue and pain.
