Treatment for post-polio syndrome

In life, polio is a common disease that brings serious harm to children. After the disease, it will affect the child's walking and even cause the child's legs to become deformed. There will also be some sequelae. So what are the treatments for the sequelae of polio? Let me take a look at the treatments for the sequelae of the disease:

Two years after the onset of the disease, sequelae are left. The disease no longer progresses, but it is not easy to get better. The child maintains a relatively stable disability state and the disease will not relapse. However, relevant research results show that some people who have suffered from polio and are now "cured" can still relapse after 30 to 40 years of illness, and new symptoms similar to polio appear, which is called post-polio syndrome. The main manifestations are: extreme fatigue, gradually worsening limb weakness, muscle and joint pain, limb paralysis and muscle atrophy. If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital immediately for treatment. Don't take it lightly, so as not to delay the treatment.

1. Treatment Theoretically or in principle, the treatment of poliomyelitis is to correct the bone deformity first, and then perform muscle balance surgery. It is recommended to complete the bone surgery on the same side or the opposite side at the same time as the soft tissue surgery. Although the indications for surgery are difficult to determine, as long as the patient can make progress on the original basis after surgery, such as walking with crutches or walking without crutches, treatment should be actively carried out.

2. Since severe polio causes severe loss of muscle strength and is often accompanied by obvious deformities, it is difficult to achieve ideal results with one or two surgeries. Therefore, patients must undergo careful muscle strength tests to develop reasonable polio treatment methods.

3. Acupuncture treatment is suitable for those who are young, have a short course of illness, and have mild limb atrophy. At the beginning of treatment, strong stimulation is used to achieve therapeutic effects, and then medium stimulation is used to consolidate the therapeutic effects. These are all treatment methods for polio.

4. Roll back and forth on the paralyzed limb for 8 to 10 minutes, massage and relax the joints for 3 to 5 minutes, rub the relevant spine and limbs 5 to 6 times, and rub the local area to warm it up. Do this once a day or every other day. You can teach your family members to do it at home.

The information introduced above is the treatment method for the sequelae of polio. I hope it can help you. I hope you can pay attention to the treatment method of polio introduced here today, and use the treatment method of polio introduced above to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, so that you can recover soon.
