How To Diagnose And Treat Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Physical Therapy

It appears that most individuals will recover from this condition. However, they need some assistance during recovery to hopefully regain most of their mobility. This can mean undergoing physical therapy during the illness and after symptoms have begun to subside. While patients have this syndrome, they should have their doctors and caregivers carefully move their arms and legs. Doing so should help keep their muscles flexible and strong as much as possible. Formal physical therapy may also be needed. This therapy should provide patients with strengthening exercises. The exercises may also increase their endurance. It may also be helpful for ongoing fatigue.
