Pino PA, et al. - In a relatively large cohort of patients with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), researchers characterized early functional outcomes of nerve transfer surgery. For this investigation, 32 patients with AFM were assessed, and 16 had nerve transfer surgeries. Using the Active Movement Scale preoperatively and during follow-up examinations, motor function was assessed by a licensed occupational therapist. Study participants with 6 or more months of follow-up were involved. After 6 to 9 months following onset, patients with AFM with persistent motor deficits are helped by nerve transfer surgery. Elbow function restoration was more dependable than shoulder function restoration. For timely evaluation and treatment, early referral of patients with incomplete recovery to an experienced center in nerve transfers was recommended.
