Ships from and sold by DelhiBookStore. In the shortage of professional literature on post polio syndrome, this is probably the best book existed. Since the post polio is the field of my professional interest, I can see some minuses in the book (eg. the problem of cold intolerance is only mentioned, but not discussed). However, every book when it comes out of print, allready misses the latest findings, the same is true for Halstead& work.

Over the course of 14 chapters, Lauro Halstead, . takes us on his unexpected life journey of challenges and growth in this memoir. As a young, vigorous college student in the early 1950s, he was suddenly paralyzed by a severe case of acute polio while traveling in Spain. Despite his polio disability, Dr. Halstead forged a pioneering career in medicine that included helping spinal cord injured men have biologic children and, when his own strength began to fail in midcareer, identifying a late phase of polio known as post-polio syndrome.

Many survivors of the polio epidemic of the first half of the 20th century are now experiencing a recurrence of symptoms, known as postpolio syndrome (PPS). This book, written by leaders in the field, describes the features of this disorder and its diagnosis, evaluation, management, and rehabilitation. It reviews the problems specific to people with PPS, primarily fatigue, muscle weakness, and chronic pain, and addresses the whole person through chapters on psychosocial issues, aging and prevention of secondary disability, and assistive devices to help with activities of daily living. Current evidence-based guidelines for specific rehabilitation therapies, such as exercise therapy, aquatic therapy, and energy conservation measures, are covered.Practical information presented by international leaders in the fieldFeatures diagnosis and management considerations as well as rehab considerationsCurrent evidence base for rehabilitation therapies

In the shortage of professional literature on post polio syndrome, this is probably the best book existed. It gives a plane view to a reader who would like to be more familiar with that not-completely-researched entity. Since the post polio is the field of my professional interest, I can see some minuses in the book (eg. the problem of cold intolerance is only mentioned, but not discussed). However, every book when it comes out of print, allready misses the latest findings, the same is true for Halstead`s work.
