Patient's question:
Had polio, at that time the entire left leg was paralyzed. After treatment at Chongqing Children's Hospital, I gradually regained the ability to walk. Now I am almost 6 years old, and the left thigh is significantly smaller than the right leg, with less strength than the right leg. Walking is slightly limped. Can this condition be improved through orthopedic surgery? What is the best age for the surgery? Which department does this surgery belong to? What is the approximate cost? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The main purpose of rehabilitation training is to restore or compensate for the lost motor functions in children with post-polio syndrome, thereby improving upper limb daily activity ability and lower limb standing and walking functions, striving to achieve self-care and return to society as soon as possible. The main training content frequently includes strength training, joint range of motion training, orthosis fabrication and use, as well as postoperative limb functional recovery training.
