Hello Everybody.
Does anyone know what can be done to help 75 y.o. male who has been
suffering from post polio syndrome for the last 18 mos?
His entire LUQ is severely affected with no muscle strength (MMT:
0-1/5) and severe L shoulder joint pain. He wears a sling to support
his arm. He c/o cervical and upper thoracic spine pain secondary to
severe posture deformity caused by a laxity of the LUQ muscles. He is
unable to sustain a vertical position of his head which is held most of
the times in flexion; that along with a thoracic hyperkyphosis affects
his breathing and vision. A significant emotional component
(depression) is also present.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Mark P.T.
