ging with the effects of a permanent disability has been a challenge for many polio survivors. Approximately 640000 people in the United States have some degree of impairment related to polio (March of Dimes, 2001). Many have worked hard to participate fully in society, which has affected their health (Harrison and Stuifbergen, 2005). Researchers report that secondary conditions and comorbidities are well above the national rate in people living with the effect of polio (Campbell, sheets, and strong, 1990); Harrison and Stuifbergen 2001). The cumulative stress from pushing their bodies as the ache with the disability has been reported as consistent with explanations provided by the combined disablement process and allosteric load models (Harrisons and Stuifbergen 2001). The effects of long term stress however may be reduced by having a positive psychological outlook ( Frankal , 1984;Ryll and Singer, 1998;Taylor, 1983). The article explores the protective effects of finding a purpose in life for aging polio survivors finding a purpose in life is associated with physical limitations, symptoms of depression, and quality of life thus a greater purpose in life is associated with less physical decline this study aims to find that purpose in life will predict better quality of life beyond the effects of physical impairment and depression.

The program expanded environmental severance to 11cites and towns in 2012. This is helping in better understanding the virus transmissions and patterns and tailoring appropriate strategies to interrupt it there hasn't persistent isolation of WPV 1 from the designated environmental sites.
