Description The critical importance of supportive care including physiotherapy to the acute severe Guillain-Barre patient is emphasised in numerous reports in the literature. However, there are no systematic studies of physiotherapy in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). This article examines the aetiology, pathology, clinical features, prognosis and treatment of GBS with reference to the physiotherapists’ management of the acute severe patient treated in an intensive care unit.
