Thank you. I have no visible signs (shortened limbs, etc.) that I had Polio, but my back muscles were ruined and I had to have physical therapy from childhood through my teens. I had back surgery last year to alleviate some of the lifelong back pain I have endured.
The differences aren’t noticeable to the eye but rather to the measuring tape. Therapist like to measure Limbs. When one of her PT’s started measuring her arms and legs she was puzzled because none were consistent in proportion to what they should have been. They were trying to teach her to transfer from chair to bed and couldn’t figure out why her hands could not reach the board. That’s when they determined the previous Polio. Looking at her you couldn’t tell anything except she is 4’10”.
