Polio Australia commissioned this clinical practice resource module for health professionals to inform the broader primary care community about good practice in the management of individuals living with polio, the Late Effects of Polio (LEoP) and/or Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS). The module will also be of interest to those working with individuals with other neurological or musculoskeletal issues, and those living with the late effects of disability.
The module’s content is drawn from three sources: the contemporary practice wisdom of Australia’s current allied health polio specialists; the expert knowledge of those living with polio and its aftermath; and the evidence-based literature.
