"Chronically, findings are characterised by atrophy of involved areas, including bone and muscle, which may be similar to other neuromuscular disorders. The extent of fatty muscle atrophy and/or bone atrophy may be striking. Often there are associated deformities due to involved muscles, most commonly flexion, abduction and external rotation at hip joint."
""Poliomyelitis" derives from the Ancient Greek πολιός ("grey") and μνελός ("marrow"), indicating how the disease affects the spinal cord grey matter. Jacob von Heine (1800-1879), a German orthopaedic surgeon, first described it in 1840 8,10 and the epidemic form was described by a Swedish paediatrician Karl Oskar Medin (1847-1914) in 1890 10. Hence, it is sometimes known as Heine-Medin disease 9."
