Dr Susan L Perlman, MD, is Clinical Professor of Neurology, at UCLA.

She has prepared the following interesting series of videos on aspects of the late effects of polio, often (although not necessarily accurately) interchangeably called post-polio syndrome (PPS).

Who is your typical post-polio syndrome patient?

When does PPS manifest itself? Why?

What is the biological cause of PPS?

What are the psychological factors associated with PPS?

Can the onset of PPS be caused by a fall or trauma?

Can lifestyle exacerbate motor neuron loss?

What type of physician can best diagnose PPS?

Which tests are performed to diagnose PPS?

Can blood tests help diagnose PPS?

Which diagnostic tests are performed on bulbar polio survivors?

What are some self-assessment tests for PPS?

What are the recommendations to effectively manage PPS?

What type of exercise is beneficial to PPS patients?

Can PPS be treated with medication?

Are there any new PPS treatments on the horizon?
