A member asked:
What are the tests for infantile paralysis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on exam.: A thorough physical and neurological exam is a must; based on the findings from that exam, the doctor can determine what other tests are needed. There are many possible causes of infantile paralysis, and they can differ in how they present and what tests must be done.
