What is the children’s prognosis? Will they recover?

Most had a fever or a respiratory illness a few days before developing paralysis. Many had to be placed on respirators. Although 85 percent of the children recovered partially, only three of them recovered fully. Partial recovery in this is horrible too, they are never the same

I had an off shoot of this virus some 30+ years ago and the article is correct, if you don’t get your movements back within year you live with what you get back and essentially there is no treatment other than PT. I was in a wheelchair initially and now walk with canes. The result in my case was no balance and no stamina despite PT. When I stand without canes I am constantly tensing and releasing muscles to maintain balance, I have to think about it, it is not natural anymore. Still beats being in that chair!
