A member asked:
What are some treatment options for post polio syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical therapy: Weakness, poor balance, and pain are the more common symptoms. Cure is not possible, but good management is possible. You need a good therapy program and appropriate braces and equipment to be as functional as possible. Pain relief is very important.
