Increase Group Knowledge

The Group is increasingly aware that it is becoming an essential source of data for many concerned with the management and treatment of Post Polio Syndrome or Postpolio Myelitic Syndrome as we must now learn to call it since its recent recognition by the World Health Organisation and it will continue to update its knowledge and service all requests.
The Group will consult widely on the provision of advice on pain and pain management and will work to provide better solutions for Polio Survivors in pain.
Study will be made of cognitive problems amongst Polio Survivors with a view to providing better support to them in this respect.
The Group will continue to examine the provision of better shoe, calliper and brace solutions for Polio Survivors. Group research shows that many react by abandoning the appliances with consequences involving falls and, in some cases, fractures. The Group will continue to work with members, suppliers and others to improve this situation.
