Patient's question:
Male, 35 years old, with post-polio syndrome. How should it be treated? I hope the doctor can explain it to me.Doctor's answer:
Poliomyelitis sequelae primarily manifest as muscle atrophy and weakness, classified as disuse atrophy. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate the muscles as much as possible, perform passive movements, and use acupuncture and massage to stimulate the muscles. Cupping therapy in physical therapy is effective, but it is ineffective in the short term. We must persist with confidence. There are many types of rehabilitation training. If the financial conditions permit, they can be sent to specialized rehabilitation centers for rehabilitation. You can also buy your own books at home to learn how to exercise the patient's muscles and conduct rehabilitation training.
