"The Norwegian Polio Study 1994" was conducted in order to survey the medical and social situation and the needs of polio victims. A questionnaire consisting of 133 questions with subquestions was sent to a total of 2,392 polio victims in Norway. 1,449 persons responded, of whom 66% were between 45 and 64 years of age. When specifying new health problems, between 55% and 85% stated that they had experienced increasing weakness of the muscles affected by polio, weakness in previously non-affected muscles, fatigue, intolerance to cold and/or pain in muscles and joints. Only 17% were satisfied with the public health services for polio victims. On the other hand, 67% of those who had undergone a comprehensive evaluation and had been treated at a central hospital were satisfied. The study indicates an obvious need to build up expertise in multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment of post-polio victims.
