Objective: To analyze the evolution of the functional independence of patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) hospitalized for rehabilitation. Method: Retrospective and longitudinal study. Medical records of patients with diagnosis of GBS hospitalized for rehabilitation were analyzed, from January 2015 to March 2020, who had the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission and hospital discharge duly filled, regardless of age. The comparison of FIM before and after hospitalization for rehabilitation was performed using Student’s t-test and McNemar’s test. Results: The sample consisted of 26 patients, with a mean age of 41.96 ± 19.67 years. Participants had a mean of 66.07 ± 69.56 days between the first symptoms and hospital admission for rehabilitation. The mean length of stay was 38.96 ± 28.36 days. There was a significant difference between the mean scores, at admission and discharge, in the motor domain (37.58-59.62; p<0.001) and cognitive domain (23.19-33.35; p<0.001) and total FIM score (60.77-92.96; p<0.001). There was also an increase in the number of patients with complete independence after hospitalization for rehabilitation (2-15; p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with GBS hospitalized for rehabilitation show improved functional independence. Access to this multiprofessional therapeutic modality is important for patients with GBS.
