Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to learn more about it. What are the effects of post-polio syndrome? Are there any good conservative treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Poliomyelitis is an acute infectious disease caused by the poliovirus, which severely threatens children's health. The poliovirus is a neurotropic virus that primarily invades motor neurons in the central nervous system, mainly damaging the motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Does this child currently have any clinical symptoms? Are there any symptoms of muscle atrophy and pain? It is recommended to start active and passive exercises as soon as possible to prevent muscle atrophy. Acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can also be used to promote functional recovery. Severe limb deformities can be corrected through surgery.
