Dear patient.
I am terribly sorry but there is no cure for polio.
Post polio paralysis patients are treated as follows
1 ) Surgical approach: As u have already undergone a surgery I shall not get into details
2) Non Surgical approach:
a. slowly progressive, nonfatiguing exercise coupled with weight loss and energy preservation
b. Lower extremity orthosis.An orthosis is a device that externally supports an existing body part, with the objective of supporting, correcting, or compensating for skeletal deformity or weakness.
