Is there a treatment that will help polio affected leg into normal size?
Patient: Hi Doc, My wife has gone through an operation in her polio effected leg. and now her leg is in shape but very thin. but she can walk without any support cant use stairs much. means able to walk up to 2 stair building. can u suggest us wat kaind of treatment will help her leg to be as same size of normal leg. Doctor: Hello,  If she is polio and operated then you should hire a physiotherapist and start exercising every day to have a good quality of life. Usually, people with polio tends to develop muscle weakness and some orthopedic injuries in future, as the body is pathologically applying the pressure without even the knowledge of individual on soft tissues.  In my practice, I have seen cases with polio and post-polio syndrome and most do well with physiotherapy.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
