9Muscle Weakness
You find that poliovirus affects the muscles and the joints. Most patients affected by Polio complain of stiff muscles that cause pain and eventually weakening the muscles. As a result, you find that the individuals experience difficulties when trying to stretch their muscles and even have problems when trying to walk. The effect starts as a mild condition but gets severe as the virus continues to attack and multiply in various body muscles. Weak muscles cause trouble as the individuals can’t stretch to attend simple duties and feel exhausted and require medical attention. [9]
