Strength and Conditioning for Patients Recovering From Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune disease which can result in whole-body residual weakness for years after diagnosis. Research suggests that, along with medical treatment, exercise may aid in recovery for patients by minimizing the severity of side effects associated with GBS. Practices, contraindications, considerations, and general recommendations for whole-body cardiorespiratory, resistance, and flexibility exercise programming and progression for GBS patients are discussed throughout.
