For years polio was one of the most feared diseases in America, responsible for crippling, paralysis and death. In 1952, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it reached its peak in the United States with more than 21,000 paralytic cases. Shortly after, vaccines were developed that greatly reduced its spread. Today, few people in developed countries get polio, and the disease is well on its way to being eliminated in developing countries, thanks to immunization efforts with polio vaccine.

The extent to which polio survivors will suffer from PPS depends on how seriously they were affected by the first polio attack. Patients who had only minimal symptoms from the original attack and subsequently develop PPS will most likely experience only mild PPS symptoms. People originally hit hard by the polio virus may develop a more severe case of PPS with a greater loss of muscle function, difficulty in swallowing, and more periods of fatigue.

More than 300,000 polio survivors in the United States may be at risk for PPS. Doctors are unable to establish a firm incidence rate, but they estimate that the condition affects 25 percent of these survivors.

PPS is caused by the death of individual nerve terminals in the motor units that remain after the initial attack of polio. This deterioration of individual nerve terminals might be an outcome of the recovery process from the acute polio attack. During this recovery process, in an effort to compensate for the loss of nerve cells (neurons), surviving motor neurons sprout new endings to restore function to muscles. This results in large motor units that may add stress to the body. As a result of this rejuvenation, the individual may have normal-functioning muscles for some time. But after a number of years, the motor neurons with excessive sprouting may not be able to maintain the metabolic demands of all their new sprouts, and a slow deterioration of the individual terminals may result.

Restoration of nerve function may occur in some fibers a second time, but eventually nerve terminals are destroyed and permanent weakness occurs. This hypothesis is consistent with PPS's slow, stepwise, unpredictable course. Through years of studies, scientists have shown that PPS is a very slowly progressing condition marked by long periods of stability.
