Abstract: New onset of fatigue, weakness, muscle and joint pain occurs in patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS). These symptoms will lead patients to action and activities difficulty, such as functional limitations, which are serious, and needed to deal with, in order to avoid the emergence of injury. Adequate intensity of aerobic exercise can help the patient maintain the body's activity level, but should be individualized to avoid the burden of muscles and joints. Scientific weight control is also a problem that patients with PPS should pay attention to. The PPS specialized clinic can comprehensively assess the patient's health status, functional limitation, and give specific recommendations for treatment, exercise, diet, and orthosis.

Key words: post-polio syndrome, functional limitation, aerobic exercise, body mass, control
