What is Post-polio Syndrome?
Post-polio Syndrome is a condition that affects polio survivors years after the initial infection. It causes progressive muscle weakness, fatigue, joint pain, and sometimes respiratory issues. Although not contagious, the symptoms can severely impact mobility and quality of life. In an emergency, the condition may be unfamiliar to some responders — making it essential to carry an ICE card that clearly communicates your diagnosis and supports safer, quicker medical care.
