What are the treatments for polio with corrective surgery?

Polio is a relatively common disease. It is not considered a difficult disease at present, but it also needs to be treated in a timely manner. The research on this disease has reached a very mature level, so there are many treatment methods. So, what are the treatment methods of polio orthopedic surgery? How to correct polio? Let us learn about it together.

If polio breaks out, it needs to be corrected through diet or other methods. I will explain this in detail below.

1. Dietary care: Give children nutritious, high-protein, high-fat, and multi-vitamin foods to increase the body's resistance.

2. Reconstruct the coordination of limb movements: Nurses should guide children to concentrate, do joint extension movements, passively complete joint extension movements, and let children do reciprocating flexion and extension swing training, gradually learn to control the swing direction, and rebuild limb movement coordination.

3. Prevent joint adhesion: Nurses should guide children to perform large-scale exercises in all directions without being fixed to enhance blood circulation in local tissues, observe blood circulation in the extremities, and increase the amount of exercise to prevent joint adhesion.

4. Restore and improve joint mobility: Active exercise should allow children to move their joints as far as possible. For children with weak muscles and joint contractures, nurses should assist with passive movements in all directions to enhance muscle and local blood circulation, so as to restore and improve joint mobility.

5. Training to improve gait: The nurse guides the child to stand up, stand on one leg, move the center of gravity left and right, step slowly, and then practice walking on flat roads, ramps, and up and down stairs. Pay attention to keeping the body upright as much as possible, not swinging the body, maintaining a balanced gait, and making full use of the postoperative muscle strength and balance, joint stability or limb length improvement to improve gait, prevent deformation, and achieve the purpose of correction.
