Description

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare but serious neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. This can lead to weakness, numbness, and tingling, often starting in the legs and spreading to the upper body. In severe cases, GBS can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. Physiotherapy is an important component of the multidisciplinary approach to managing Guillain-Barré Syndrome. It's important to note that the progression and severity of GBS can vary among individuals. The physiotherapy approach is individualized, and the treatment plan is adjusted based on the evolving needs of the patient. Additionally, the involvement of a multidisciplinary team, including neurologists, respiratory therapists, and occupational therapists, is essential for comprehensive care in Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Early and ongoing physiotherapy can contribute significantly to the recovery and rehabilitation of individuals with GBS.
