Can the muscle atrophy caused by post-polio syndrome be treated?

Patient's question:

Medical Description (onset time, main symptoms, etc.): Developed post-polio syndrome at around 1 year old, leading to muscle atrophy. Now nearly 40, I can walk, but the affected leg is about 3 cm shorter than the normal leg, affecting appearance. Can it be treated? Moreover, after giving birth, the condition has worsened over time, feeling even more severe than before! After two fractures, the muscle atrophy has become even more pronounced, and I am very concerned!

Doctor's answer:

Muscle atrophy refers to dystrophy of striated muscles, reduced muscle volume compared to normal, thinning or even disappearance of muscle fibers, or neuromuscular hypertrophy. In addition to pathological changes in muscle tissue itself, muscle nutrition is closely related to the nervous system. Spinal cord diseases often lead to muscle dystrophy and atrophy. The treatment method involves specific nerve cell repair factors in the regeneration of nerve cells, which can rapidly and directly nourish central nervous cells, reduce and repair nerve damage, and restore the elasticity and strength of nerve cells and skeletal muscles.
