Question
How to Determine Pediatric Paralysis?
Answer
Currently, considering pediatric paralysis solely based on a child’s temporary leg pain is not supported. The diagnosis of polio is made through a combination of serological tests and stool virus detection that yields a positive result. The main manifestations of pediatric paralysis include limb muscle atrophy and weakness, limb deformities, difficulty in upper and lower limb movement, joint instability, and unequal length of both limbs.
