Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The rehabilitation in a polio affected patient depends on the degree of disability and the deformity. The muscle transplant is an option but it needs to be evaluated if you are a suitable candidate for it by a physical examination.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
