Difficulty Walking With Caliper Shoes Due To Polio On Right Leg
I am Chitra Subramanian, 47 years old. I was affected by polio in right leg when i was 5 month old. I use caliper shoe for the last 15 years after a severe fall which affected my knee. Now a days, I find very very difficulty in walking even for a few distance wearing a caliper shoe. What is the remedy for walking freely(with caliper shoe on) without stress and strain?

hello
the first thing that I would suggest is get your caliper shoe examined for the wear and tear and change in size
also an orthopedic or a physio needs to thoroughly examin your leg for muscle strength,knee,ankle and hip joint,abdominal muscle strength and upper arms strength
they might provide a rehab plan according to the findings
hope you find your ease soon
thank-you
