Post Polio Syndrome
Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center has been treating
polio patients for more than half a century. Extensive clinical experience and research
contribute to its international reputation in diagnosis and management of the
post-polio syndrome.
Dr. Jacquelin Perry, orthopedic surgeon and Director of the center has
nearly 50 years of experience in acute poliomyelitis
and the post-polio syndrome. Staffing includes an orthopedic surgeon, physical
and occupational therapists, and orthotists, all specially trained in the
post-polio syndrome.
The center also uses the Pathokinesiology Laboratory
for instrumented diagnosis of complex gait dysfunction and the definition of disability.
Consequently, there is a strong factual basis for our
therapeutic programs designed to improve function through lifestyle modification
guidance, customized orthotic prescriptions, individualized exercise
prescriptions and selective reconstructive surgery.
