Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The muscle most frequently paralysed was the deltoid. When complete paralysis of the whole deltoid occurred and was associated with paralysis of the rotator cuff muscles, the shoulder often subluxed downwards. The next most commonly affected muscles were the elbow flexors and extensors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most often, polio survivors start to experience gradual weakening in muscles that were previously affected by the polio infection. Some people may have minor symptoms while others develop visible muscle weakness and atrophy (wasting away).
