Guide of recommendations for the diagnosis and neurorrehabilitative treatment of post-poliomielytic sequelar conditions

Postpolio syndrome (PPS), which affects 20% to 50% of patients decades after initial poliovirus infection, poses a significant clinical challenge due to its unknown etiology and lack of pathogenic treatment. The main current theories point to degenerative processes secondary to the initial infection as the basis of its pathogenesis. Our guide addresses this complex landscape, providing a structured, evidence-based approach to the management of these sequelae. We emphasize the importance of: A personalized comprehensive evaluation; The development of multidisciplinary programs specifically designed to maximize functionality; Preventing complications and improving the quality of life of patients. We propose that these interventions be carried out under the supervision of an interdisciplinary team of specialists, who will use validated tools and personalized strategies based on the individual clinical characteristics of each patient. This approach ensures optimal functional benefit, aligned with current principles of evidence-based clinical practice.
