A member asked:
Does polio affect height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are two forms of polio- a paralytic form and non-paralytic form. If you get the kind that causes muscle weakness and your legs are involved then it could affect your height by making your legs not function normally. The non-paralytic form does not cause changes in height
