Think Interdisciplinary to Improve a Complex Multifactorial Gait Disorder of a 28-Year-Old Polio Patient Abstract. Poliomyelitis with the resulting paralytic sequelae is hardly present in Switzerland anymore and if so, only in elderly persons. The last reported case of poliomyelitis in Switzerland was received by the FOPH in 1982. A 28-year-old patient with paralytic poliomyelitis is extremely rare in this country. A combined multifactorial gait disorder with symptomatic hip dysplasia, pronounced leg length shortening and axial malalignment of the leg on the polio-affected side make this case unique and a special interdisciplinary challenge.
