Maintaining regular physical activity (PA) can be challenging for persons with late effects of polio. This qualitative study of ambulatory persons with late effects of polio explored their perceptions of PA, as well as facilitators of and barriers to PA. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 persons and analyzed with content analysis using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a framework. The participants described positive perceptions of PA…

Self-reported impairments among people with late effects of polio: a Mixed-methods study.

By using both the SIPP scale and face-to-face interviews, an increased understanding of how LEoP-related impairments influence everyday life was achieved.

Fall-Related Activity Avoidance among Persons with Late Effects of Polio and Its Influence on Daily Life: A Mixed-Methods Study

It is found that many persons often avoided activities related to standing and walking, for example, taking a bath, performing household chores, walking outdoors, attending social events if there were stairs in the building and travelling by public transport, due to fear of falling, increased pain and fatigability.

The Influence of Walking Limitations on Daily Life: A Mixed-Methods Study of 14 Persons with Late Effects of Polio

Reduced walking ability is common in persons with late effects of polio (LEoP). Here, we explored how many walking limitations persons with LEoP perceive, and how these limitations influence daily…

Perceived consequences of ageing with late effects of polio and strategies for managing daily life: a qualitative study

Ageing with LEoP affected daily life to a great extent, and the participants experienced considerable impact of the new and increased impairments on their life situation, which emphasises the need to design rehabilitation interventions that focus on coping, empowerment and self-management for people ageing with LEeP.

Effect of implementation intention on walking in people with diabetes: an experimental approach

Implementation intention was effective in promoting walking and improving clinical indicators in adults with T2DM.

Growing up with a disability following paralytic poliomyelitis: experiences from persons with late effects of polio

Understanding the experiences of growing up with poliomyelitis can support rehabilitation professionals to provide targeted interventions for people with late effects of polio and enable them to develop new adaptive strategies.

Knowledge and attitudes among health professionals about poliomyelitis and post-poliomyelitis syndrome: a cross-sectional study in Brazil

A critical need for the improvement of PPS knowledge among Brazilian health professionals is indicated and physicians, physiotherapists and nurses demonstrated a better understanding of poliomyelitis and post-polio syndrome.

The Meaning of Sense of Coherence (SOC) in Persons with Late Effects of Polio—A Qualitative Study

Sense of Coherence (SOC), comprising comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, is important for the sense of living a good life with Late Effects of Polio (LEoP). However, there is a lack…

Post‐polio syndrome and the late effects of poliomyelitis: Part 2. treatment, management, and prognosis

Post‐polio syndrome is characterized by new muscle weakness and/or muscle fatigability that occurs many years after the initial poliomyelitis illness; however, there is also variability in both the natural history of weakness and functional prognosis.

Knowledge of healthcare professionals about poliomyelitis and postpoliomyelitis: a cross-sectional study

The findings from the present study indicate that there is a critical need for improvement of knowledge about postpoliomyelitis syndrome among Brazilian healthcare professionals and the services provided by these professionals may become compromised.

Active living—the perception of older people with chronic conditions

Connection to community, sense of place and ‘walkability’ of neighbourhoods were identified as motivators for undertaking physical activity, whilst barriers were associated with health, the environment, family and attitudes to physical activity.

Barriers to physical activity for people with long-term neurological conditions: a review study.

Findings showed that barriers to physical activity participation arise from personal factors that, coupled with lack of motivational support from the environment, challenge perceptions of safety and confidence to exercise.

Correlates of Physical Activity for Adults With Disability

Some correlates of physical activity found in general populations are also related to activity level for people with disability (age, general health, race), whereas others (sex, education level) are not.

Older adults' perceptions of physical activity: a qualitative study.

The primary finding was that older adults continue individual patterns of meaningful PA across their lifespan when they have support to adapt to age-associated limitations, with a gradual decline in intensity during older years.
