HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorPolio is a disease caused by virus that predominantly affects the central nervous system. It predominantly destroys the motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and acute flaccid paralysis. As you have already affected with polio, there is no permanent cure for polio.  Supportive measures like moderate exercise and nutritious diet can be tried in your case. You can also try occupational therapy, physical therapy, braces, corrective shoes and orthopedic surgery. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
