[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding using calipers. But that would be the best choice for you. Polio results in flaccid paralysis of limbs which do not respond so well to reconstructive surgery. Calipers will allow movement and also provide support to the lower body. I suggest you discuss with your treating doctor the option of reconstructive surgery for you specifically and then decide. There have been cases where reconstructive surgery of affected limb has helped but very rarely. I hope I have helped with this answer. Wishing you good luck. Thanks.
