The Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) is an entity characterized by an episode of muscular weakness and/or abnormal muscular fatigue in individuals that had presented acute polio at least 15 years before. We report the case of PPS in a patient, 31 years, that thirty years after had had paralytic poliomyelitis, developed new symptoms of fatigue, muscular atrophy, difficulties in deambulation and muscular and joint pain. The goal of interventions in PPS is to provide affected people with methods leading to body management and lifestyle changes, which are capable of reducing the excessive metabolic load over muscular groups.
