Patient's question:
The child is 7 years old this year. Six months ago, it was discovered that he had infantile paralysis, and our whole family was very worried. We immediately took him to the hospital, where he took many medications and received many injections. Finally, the condition was brought under control. However, now the child's legs have become uneven, and he walks with a limp. What should we do about the sequelae of infantile paralysis in the child?Doctor's answer:
Severe post-polio syndrome training mainly includes strengthening muscle strength training, expanding joint range of motion training, making and using orthotics, as well as postoperative limb functional recovery training. Rehabilitation training is best conducted under the guidance of a doctor. Mastering appropriate training scale, quantity, and methods is essential, as insufficient training volume will not yield significant results. However, overtraining can lead to limb injuries, such as muscle strains, joint swelling, fractures, and dislocations. Therefore, we must properly grasp this standard, and the quantity of training should be appropriate.
