The inactivated poliovirus vaccine was approved for use in the United States in 1955, and the oral polio vaccine was approved in 1957. With mass vacations, wild cases of polio dropped to a mere 30 confirmed cases in 2022. But there are plenty of other causes of weakness. The differential can be quite diverse.

So for today’s topic on the Approach to Muscle Weakness in primary care, we’ve invited two of Ohio State University’s Neuromuscular experts. First, Dr Matthew Burford is an Assistant Professor of Neurology specializing in Neuromuscular Medicine. And, Dr Michael Isfort is also an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Ohio State who is fellowship trained in both clinical neurophysiology and neuromuscular medicine.
