Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Physical Exercise, RehabilitationAbstract
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) affects peripheral nerves and is characterized by the loss of strength in the lower limbs and decreased tendon reflexes due to its autoimmune and inflammatory nature. This disease affects the myelin sheath of the proximal portion, causing a progressive and rapidly evolving polyneuropathy leading to death due to respiratory failure. Objective: Identify and demonstrate the benefits of physical exercise in the Rehabilitation Process for individuals diagnosed with GBS. Methods: This systematic review was conducted at the CAPES (Brazilian Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education), LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar, and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases. Studies published from 2010 to 2022. The studies were identified and selected according to PRISMA guidelines, enabling consistent analysis and increased validity and reliability of the studies included in this review. Results: Eight studies were included in the systematic review. In general, the studies demonstrated that physical exercise benefits GBS rehabilitation. All included studies had positive results regarding physical exercise in the rehabilitation process. Conclusion: High-quality literature on this topic is scarce, therefore the readers must be cautious when reading the evidence presented in this review before concluding the benefits of physical exercise for patients with GBS, despite the statistically significant data on the improvement of mobility, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, cardiopulmonary function, and on the fatigue reduction.
