    Objective It was to evaluate the degree of fatigue in patients with paralytic poliomyelitis (PP) and with post-polio syndrome (PPS), and correlate it with parameters of sleep and the circadian cycle. Methods Thirty patients, 17 female (56.7%), participated in the study: they answered the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale and performed a nocturnal polysomnographic study. Eleven had PP (mean age±standard deviation of 47.9±6.4 years), and 19 had PPS (mean age±standard deviation of 46.4±5.6 years). Results Our study showed that fatigue was worse in the afternoon in the PP Group and had a progressive increase throughout the day in the PPS Group. We also observed compromised quality of sleep in both groups, but no statically significant difference was found in the sleep parameters measured by polysomnography. Conclusion Fatigue has a well-defined circadian variation, especially in PPS Group. Poor sleep quality is associated with fatigue and, therefore, sleep disturbances should be evaluated and treated in this group of PPS.

    Currents issues in cardiorespiratory care of patients with post-polio syndrome

    Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that affects polio survivors years after recovery from an initial acute attack of the poliomyelitis virus. Most often, polio survivors experience a gradual new weakening in muscles that were previously affected by the polio infection. The actual incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in individuals suffering from PPS is not known. However, there is a reason to suspect that individuals with PPS might be at increased risk. Method: A search for papers was made in the databases Bireme, Scielo and Pubmed with the following keywords: post polio syndrome, cardiorespiratory and rehabilitation in English, French and Spanish languages. Although we targeted only seek current studies on the topic in question, only the relevant (double-blind, randomized-controlled and consensus articles) were considered. Results and Discussion: Certain features of PPS such as generalized fatigue, generalized and specific muscle weakness, joint and/or muscle pain may result in physical inactivity deconditioning obesity and dyslipidemia. Respiratory difficulties are common and may result in hypoxemia. Conclusion: Only when evaluated and treated promptly, somE patients can obtain the full benefits of the use of respiratory muscles aids as far as quality of life is concerned.

    Efeitos dos exercícios daoyin qigong na queixa de intolerância ao frio, dor fadiga e qualidade de vida em pacientes com síndrome pós-poliomielite
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2014-12-31) Ramos, Paulo Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Acary Souza Bulle Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is characterized by increasing muscle weakness derived from residual manifestations due to previous poliomyelitis infection and can be associated to other symptoms such as, cold intolerance (CI). Daoyin Qigong (DQ) is a rehabilitation technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Objective: verify the effects of DQ in PSS patients complaining of cold intolerance. Methods: Thirty-six patients, twenty-six women and ten men, ages between 35-60 years were submitted to DQ technique, during a 40-minute session two times a week for three consecutive months. Reassessed every three months after DQ intervention using a visual analogical scale (VAS), Fadigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Whoqol-bref. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in the systemic VAS-Cold after the end of DQ intervention. Conclusion: DQ ameliorated CI complaint, pain and fatigue in the patients, positively reflecting the quality of life. They presented a low score of cold sensitivity at the end of the intervention.
