There is little information in the medical literature on the rehabilitation of patients with GuillainBarre Syndrome (GBS). There are clinical studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program using an interdisciplinary team, but without well-defined protocols and only performed on an outpatient basis. This case report aims to describe the evolution of a patient with GBS during the intensive multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation program, discussing the therapeutic possibilities for rehabilitation of the disease
