    Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune condition leading to rapid sensory and motor impairments, primarily caused by prior infections.

    The most common variant of GBS is Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP), accounting for approximately 97% of cases in North America and Europe.

  • 3

    Physiotherapy for GBS is divided into three phases, with the initial phase focusing on pain management and prevention of complications.
