We report a 19-year-old man suffering from acute poliomyelitis induced by the attenuated strain of type 3 polio virus. As he had severe muscular weakness in the right lower limb and slight weakness in the left lower limb, we prescribed the following rehabilitation program: active assistive or manual resistive exercises for his right lower limb, resistive exercises for his left lower limb, and gait training with a knee-ankle-foot orthosis. As only two or less than two cases of acute poliomyelitis a year have been reported in Japan, we are following up this patient from the standpoint of preventing post-polio syndrome.
