Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients: -a confirmed history of paralytic poliomyelitis -capable of walking independently for more than 150m without any supportive devices -aged between 18 and 75 years;Control subjects: -healthy volunteers, matched for age, gender, body weight and height.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary study parameters are speed (in m/min), the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD in m), heart rate (HR in b/min), and EC walking (in J/kg/m), as measured with the ECWT. From the 6MWT, speed, 6MWD, and HR will be calculated.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary study parameters are the patients perceived exertion score (as measured with the Borg scale), and the patients perceived fatigue (as measured with the FSS, DEFS and CIS). FSS = Fatigue Severity Scale DEFS = Dutch Exertion Fatigue Scale CIS = Checklist Individual Strength	—
