Effectiveness of Physiotherapy Intervention in Guillain Barre Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is described by a wide range of motor impairment, flaccidity, hyporeflexia, and progressive and ascending flaccid paralysis. Group B Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus agalactia and Campylobacter jejuni, are Gram-positive bacteria also known as the leading cause of GBS; its variants are acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (AIDP), and Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS). A 20-year-old girl came with complaints of generalized weakness, fever and pain over the lower limb. Huges (GBS disability scale) and the Functional Independence Measure scale were used for recording the outcome measures, and treatment has been demonstrated to lessen challenges and enhance health and quality of life. The rehabilitation protocol results in the improvement of posture motor control and the avoidance of secondary impairments.
