The purpose of this study was to determine if there were any differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic polio survivors by history of acute poliomyelitis illness, electromyographic evidence of terminal motor unit reorganization, and neuromuscular function of the quadriceps femoris muscle. It was found that symptomatic subjects had evidence of more severe original polio involvement by history (documented electromyographically) were weaker and capable of performing less work than asymptomatic subjects, and recovered strength less readily than controls.
