I have studied on the dental caries incidence of 172 poliomyelitis children who are housed in rehabilitation hospital age from 3 to 13 years compared to a group of normal children. The results were as follows; 1. def rate of the poliomyelitis children was 68.63% (male 66.67%, female 71.43%) and was low value compare with that of control group of 78.64% (M 75.93%, F81.63%). 2. def index per person of poliomyelitis children was 2.37 (M 2.00, F 2.91) and was low in number compare with that of 3.29 (M 3.33, F 3.24) in control group children. 3. DMF rate of the poliomyelitis children was 59.41% (M 54.55%, F 62.79%) and was higher value than that of 48.28% (M 37.88%, F 59.96%) in control group. 4. DMF incidence per person in poliomyelitis was 1.62 (M1.48, F1.89) and was also higher in number than that of 1. 220 (M 0.85, F 1.49) in control group. 5. The dental caries incidence was higher in female than in male.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical characteristic by directly measuring the wheelchair using disabled women. The subjects were 103 disabled women of wheelchair used women and between 20 - 55 years of age. The result of this study is as follow. There was a remarkable difference in the physical characteristic of wheelchair using disabled women due to their cause of disability. The cause of disability was classified into the 4 groups; poliomyelitis, spiral cord injury, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy. Poliomyelitis disability generally had a large horizontal area due to their strong upper body. People with spiral cord injury disability was shown to have the largest height, cervical height, waist back length, crotch length, knee length, The group of muscular dystrophy disabled people have the shortest length of body and also lean. The cebral palsy group of disabled people has an average length and height size body. A comparison of anthropometric measurements of wheelchair using disabled women with National Anthropometric Survey Korea(1997) was significant difference. People with poliomyelitis disability was shown to have a larger waist back length, neck point to breast point compared to normal women, but stature, crotch length was shorter compared to normal women. People with spiral cord injury disability had a similar in the vertical area. The group of muscular dystrophy and cebral palsy disabled people was short and smaller in general compared to a normal woman.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the effects of Korean medicine treatment on tibia, fibula, and patellar fractures with sequelae of poliomyelitis. Methods A 64-year-old male patient was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and exercise treatment for 59 days after open reduction and internal fixation and tension band wiring surgery. The effects were evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS), manual muscle testing (MMT), range of motion (ROM), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), and EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) index. Results After treatment, VAS decreased from 7 to 2. MMT, ROM, WOMAC, EQ-5D and walking ability were improved. Conclusions This case study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective for tibia, fibula, patellar fractures in patients with sequelae of poliomyelitis.

Postpoliomyelitis syndrome is a common neurological disorder that occurs in patients who have experienced paralytic poliomyelitis. Recently, as a result of vaccination against poliovirus, incidence of poliomyelitis is exceedingly low. However, many patients with postpolio syndrome may encounter anesthesia when undergoing surgery, such as for correction of foot deformity and other operations. We report on a 45-year-old woman who experienced paralysis of her contralateral limb after operation on the left foot under spinal anesthesia. Postoperative electromyography/nerve conduction study (EMG/NCS) was performed in order to determine the cause of paralysis. Motor power of the sequelae involved leg showed improvement with time and recovered fully to the preoperative level at six months after the index operation. A precise evaluation, including a physical examination and EMG/NCS, should be performed preoperatively when spinal anesthesia is planned for postpolio syndrome patients.

A 28-year-old man presented with headache, fever, and myalgia. Subsequently, rapidly progressive quadriplegia with areflexia developed. CSF examination revealed moderate pleocytosis and protein elevation. MRI of brain and spinal cord showed hyperintense lesions on T2-weighted image at midbrain and ventral horns along the whole spinal cord. Serial serologic examinations of CSF for Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus were negative. Culture and neutralization tests of stool and CSF for enterovirus were negative. Although the etiologic pathogen was not identified, we diagnosed him as poliomyelitis-like syndrome by clinical features and findings of MRI.

The purpose of this study was to make a comprehensive study and provide information about the oral status of handicapped. 874 (male: 540, female: 334) persons who are housed by 12 institution aged from 4 to 28 years in Seoul area was examined by considering the DMF rate, periodontal condition and occlusion. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis, mental retardation, and blindness groups had a significant higher DMF rate than that occurring in any of the remaining groups. 2. Prevalence of periodontal disease in blindness, mongolism, cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis groups showed higher than that of the remaining groups. 3. Mongolism group had a significantly higher incidence of malocclusion (69.23%).

Postpolio syndrome (PPS) refers to a constellation of neuromuscular and orthopedic symptoms and signs that have been noted to occur in patients with remote antecedent poliomyelitis. It has been increasingly recognized that individuals recovering from acute poliomyelitis develop new symptoms, most commonly weakness, fatigue, and pain that develops decades after initial disease in the region previously affected. Associated symptoms may include dysphagia, respiratory insufficiency, new muscular atrophy, dysarthria, muscle cramps, fasciculations, sleep abnormalities, and cold intolerance. Although the concepts of PPS was first described in the late 1800s, it was not until nearly 100 years later that the concept of PPS was more widely recognized and defined. This was due largely to the polio epidemic of the 1940s and 1950s that left many survivors in the world. The virtual epidemic of PPS that occurred among these polio survivors in the 1980s and 1990s has served as a catalyst to attract medical attention to this syndrome.
