Question

What are the impacts of pediatric paralysis post-infection syndrome? What conservative treatment methods are available?

Answer

Pediatric paralysis is an acute infectious disease caused by the poliovirus, posing a serious threat to children’s health. The virus primarily invades the motor neurons of the central nervous system, particularly the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Post-infection syndrome may include clinical symptoms such as muscle atrophy and pain. It is recommended to start active and passive exercises as soon as possible to prevent muscle atrophy. In addition, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can promote functional recovery. If limb deformities are severe, surgical correction can be considered.
