How is polio assisted in walking with the left limb?

Patient's question:

The baby can walk but has weakness in the left limb when walking. I hope there is a device that can assist in binding the left leg while walking. What is it?

Doctor's answer:

Poliomyelitis, also known as "acute anterior horn poliomyelitis," is caused by an acute infection of the poliovirus. This acute infection leads to limited or widespread, asymmetrical or symmetrical, sensory-motor, flaccid limb paralysis by invading anterior horn cells. It is important to remind children with poliomyelitis that they will continue to receive treatment into adulthood. Traditional Chinese medicine and rehabilitation therapy methods have a good effect on improving clinical symptoms such as muscle atrophy, weakness, lower back pain, and reduced tolerance to physical labor, restoring muscle volume, improving or delaying disease progression, and preventing postpartum hemorrhage. On a daily basis, it is important to avoid excessive exercise that places too much load on the affected limbs.
