Post Polio Syndrome

Good and easy understanding information book, Lauto S. Halstead writes and describes in practial way what is Post polio

Still essential for professionals

In the shortage of professional literature on post polio syndrome, this is probably the best book existed. It gives a plane view to a reader who would like to be more familiar with that not-completely-researched entity. Since the post polio is the field of my professional interest, I can see some minuses in the book (eg. the problem of cold intolerance is only mentioned, but not discussed). However, every book when it comes out of print, allready misses the latest findings, the same is true for Halstead`s work.

Great Information!

As far as I am concerned, it is the best book on Post Polio Syndrome. It should be must reading for all doctors...wish I could get mine to read it. Halstead's book is a gem, and full of the best information presently availble abou PPS. I highly recommend it to all Polio survivors who have or need information about PPS.
