PT MX OF GBS
KEERTHI PRIYA MPT NEURO,
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
GBS
DEFINITION : Acute/sub acute symmetrical motor neuropathy involving
more than one peripheral nerve.
AIDP: Acute Idiopathic Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
AIP: Acute Infective /Idiopathic Polyneuropathy
Landry Gullian Barrie Strohl Syndrome
Clinical Features
 symmetrical weakness
Progress distal to proximal
Distal sensory impairment
Hypaesthesia & paraesthesia
Myalgia
Dysarthria
Dysphagia
B/L Facial weakness
Diplopia
Sphincter disturbances
Orthostatic hypotension
Tachycardia
Arrhythmia
Diseased specified scales
 Gullian barrie syndrome disability score
 Huges functional grading scale for GBS
Erasmus GBS Outcome Score
PHASES OF GBS
1. Acute Phase
2. Plateau Phase
3. Recovery Phase
ACUTE PHASE
 Weakness of limbs
Involvement of respiratory muscles
Areflexia
paraesthesia
ACUTE PHASE
Goals :
To prevent lung infections
To maintain chest mobility
To prevent contractures
To prevent bedsores
To maintain circulation
To reduce pain
ACUTE PHASE
PT MX :
To prevent lung infections:
Chest physiotherapy
Postural drainage
Suctioning
Stretching of chest wall & trunk rotations
Rib springing
ACUTE PHASE
PT MX :
To prevent contractures:
Positioning
Splinting
Passive ROM
ACUTE PHASE
PT MX :
To prevent bedsores:
Positioning
Water bed
Pneumatic rings
Maintain hygiene
ACUTE PHASE
PT MX :
To maintain circulation:
 ankle toe movements
Stockings
Elevation
ACUTE PHASE
PT MX :
To decrease pain:
TENS
PROM
Massage
PLATEAU PHASE
Goals :
To improve lung capacities
To maintain chest mobility
To maintain muscle properties
To prevent autonomic dysfunctions
To improve swallowing & speaking
PLATEAU PHASE
PT MX :
To improve lung capacities:
 Breathing exercises
Incentive spirometer
Coughing techniques
PNF exercises
PLATEAU PHASE
PT MX :
To maintain muscle properties:
 Facilitatory techniques
Assisted exercises
Electrical stimulation
Sitting & standing over tilt table
Recovery PHASE
Goals :
To maintain lung capacities
To increase muscle strength
To improve balance & coordination
To decrease fatigue
To make patient independent
Recovery PHASE
PT MX :
To increase muscle strength:
 Graded strengthening exercises
Endurance training
 resistance training
Weight bearing
Recovery PHASE
PT MX :
To improve balance & coordination:
 static balance training ( pelvic bridging, pertubations, Single leg weight bearing)
Dynamic balance training( wooble board, functional reach activities, trampoline,
Swiss ball exercises)
Coordination exercises
Recovery PHASE
PT MX :
Gait Training:
 walking over parallel bars
Walking without support
Walking on different surfaces
Stair climbing
Recovery PHASE
PT MX
Functional Training:
 ADL activities
FES
ANY QUERY
THANK YOU
