Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE : Guillain barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute , progressive , symmetrical , ascending demyelinating polyneuropathy characterized by symmetrical limb weakness , areflexia , autonomic disturbances , and mild / absent sensory involvement . After plasma exchange [PE], GBS subjects are discharged with certain degree of improvement and there is very limited research, regarding the evaluation of motor deficits in GBS after plasmapheresis. About 30 of every 100 people continue to experience weakness more than 3 years after the original event, and about 15 of 100 have a long-term weakness that requires assistance, such as walker, wheelchair or other support.This review aimed at determining the Prevalence of motor impairments of hand and level of ambulation following plasmapheresis in subjects with Guillain barre syndrome [GBS]. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the hand function in subjects with GBS by using Jebsen Taylor hand function test.[JTHFT] , To evaluate the level of ambulation in subjects with GBS by using functional ambulation category [FAC]. METHODOLOGY : An observational study conducted on 45 subjects , out of which 29 were male and 16 were female , primary outcomes used for the results were Jebsens taylors hand function test (JTHFT) for hand function and Functional ambulation category (FAC) for ambulation ability ,which were evaluated before and after plasmapheresis OUTCOME MEASURES : Hand function assessed by the JTHFT (Jebsens taylor hand function test ) , and level of ambulation assessed by FAC (Functional ambulation category). CONCLUSION : After plasmapheresis , there were still remaining significant motor impairments for hand and there found a significant improvement in FAC grades. So, there is a need to emphasize on rehabilitation even after discharge, with patients on proper exercise adherence and regular follow up.
