Hi and thanks for this query.
I am sorry to hear about this
polio episode.
Polio causes significant neurological damage of the lower
limbs. The weakness is permanent and irreversible. However
rehabilitation can offer some amelioration in .
Though surgery may be able to correct some deformities, it cannot restore the neurologic damage. Orthopedic prostheses can help the person gain some limited independent support but not without.
The best way to fight polio and its damaging consequences is through
vaccination. Though it is no longer useful to the affected, please consider getting all those you can correctly vaccinated against polio and this will be a war that we can win.
Hope you find this information useful.
Feel free to use our services some other time and ask more questions.
Wish you well and courage as you face these challenging moments.
