ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

➢ THE NERVOUS SYSTEM:-

• The Nervous System is the master controlling and communicating system of the
[Link] Nervous System CONTROLS and COORDINATES ALL ESSENTIAL
FUNCTIONS of the Human Body

FUNCTION:-

SENSORY FUNCTION: Nervous system uses its millions of sensory receptors


to monitor changes occurring both inside and outside of the body. Those
changes are called STIMULI, and the gathered information is called Sensory
Input.

INTEGRATIVE FUNCTION: The Nervous System process and interprets the


sensory input ad makes decisions about what should be done at each moment
a process called Integration.

MOTOR FUNCTION: The Nervous System then sends information to muscles,


glands, and organs (effectors) so they can respond correctly, such as muscular
contraction or glandular secretions.
CLASSIFICATION:-

➢ THE NEURON

• Each neuron (consists of a cell body and its processes, one axon and many dendrites.
Neurones are commonly
• Referred to as nerve cells. Bundles of axons bound together are called nerves.
• Neurons cannot divide, and for survival they need a continuous supply of oxygen and
glucose. Unlike many other cells, neurones can synthesis chemical energy (ATP) only
from glucose.
• Neurons generate and transmit electrical impulses called action potentials.
• The initial strength of the impulse is maintained throughout the length of the neurone.
Some neurones initiate nerve impulses while others act as ‘relay stations’ where
impulses are passed on and sometimes redirected. Nerve impulses can be initiated in
response to
• stimuli from:
• Outside the body, e.g. touch, light waves
• Inside the body, e.g. a change in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood alters
respiration; a thought may result in voluntary movement.
➢ Cell bodies

• Nerve cells vary considerably in size and shape but they are all too small to be seen
by the naked eye. Cell bodies form the grey matter of the nervous system and are
found at the periphery of the brain and in the centre of the spinal cord. Groups of cell
bodies are called nuclei in the central nervous system and ganglia in the peripheral
nervous system. An important exception is the basal ganglia (nuclei) situated within
the cerebrum
➢ Axons and dendrites
• Axons and dendrites are extensions of cell bodies and form the white matter of the
nervous system. Axons are found deep in the brain and in groups, called tracts, at the
periphery of the spinal cord. They are referred to as nerves or nerve fibres outside the
brain and spinal cord.
➢ Axons
• Each nerve cell has only one axon, which begins at a tapered area of the cell body, the
axon hillock. They carry impulses away from the cell body and are usually longer
than the dendrites, sometimes as long as 100 cm. Structure of an axon.
• The membrane of the axon is called the axolemma and it encloses the cytoplasmic
extension of the cell body.
• MYELINATED NEURONES Large axons and those of peripheral nerves are
surrounded by a myelin sheath. This consists of a series of Schwann cells arranged
along the length of the axon.
• Each one is wrapped around the axon so that it is covered by a number of concentric
layers of Schwann cell plasma membrane. Between the layers of plasma membrane is
a small amount of fatty substance called myelin.
• The outermost layer of the Schwann cell plasma membrane is the neurilemma. There
are tiny areas of exposed axolemma between adjacent Schwann cells, called nodes of
Ranvier which assist the rapid transmission of nerve impulses in myelinated neurones.
• UNMYELINATED NEURONES Postganglionic fibres and some small fibres in the
central nervous system are unmyelinated. In this type a number of axons are
embedded in one Schwann cell. The adjacent
• Schwann cells are in close association and there is no exposed axolemma.
• The speed of transmission of nerve impulses is significantly slower in unmyelinated
fibres.
GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME

DEFINITION

• Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a serious disorder that occurs when the body’s
defense (immune) system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system. This leads to
nerve inflammation that causes muscle weakness.

• SUBTYPE OF GBS
• 6 different subtypes of GBS and they are
1. Acute Inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
2. Miller Fisher syndrome
3. Acute motor axonal neuropathy
4. Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy
5. Acute pan autonomic neuropathy
6. Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

➢ Not exactly known however is believed to have a multifactorial cause that is an auto-
immune disease which occurs 3-4 weeks after an onset of gastrointestinal or
respiratory viral infection (campylobacter jejuni, influenza virus, CMV). Sometimes
also seen in after vaccination (1977 swine flu pandemic).
➢ GBS onset is rapid, it can be from a few days to 4 [Link] molecular mimicry
the immune system attacks gangliosides.(GM1) Ganglioside-like epitopes exist in the
bacterial wall of C. jejuni.
➢ This leads to inflammation and demyelination of the peripheral nerves there isn’t any
damage to the brain or spinal cord. (80% is myelin loss, 20% axon loss).

DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS

• Cerebrospinal fluid investigation: It will elevated at some stage of the illness but
remains normal during the first 10 days. There may be lymphocytosis (> 50000000
cells/L).
• Electrophysiological studies: it includes nerve conduction studies and
electromyography. They are normal in the early stages but show typical changes after
a week or so with conduction block and multifocal motor slowing, sometimes most
evident proximally as delayed F-waves.
The only way to classify a patient as having the axonal or non-axonal type is electro
diagnostically.
• Further investigative procedures can be undertaken to identify an underlying cause
For example:
• Chest X-ray , stool culture and appropriate immunological tests to rule out the
presence of cytomegalovirus or mycoplasma
• Antibodies to the ganglioside GQ1b for Miller Fisher Variant.
• MRI
• Lumbar Puncture: Most, but not all, patients with GBS have an elevated CSF protein
level (>400 mg/L), with normal CSF cell counts. Elevated or rising protein levels on
serial lumbar punctures and 10 or fewer mononuclear cells/mm3 strongly support the
diagnosis.
MANAGEMENT
There is no known cure for Guillain-Barré syndrome. However, there are therapies that
lessen the severity of the illness and accelerate the recovery in most patients. There are
also a number of ways to treat the complications of the disease.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

The mainstay of medical management of patients with GBS is

Plasmapheresis

• In plasmapheresis, blood is removed from the body, the red and white blood cells
are separated from the plasma and only the blood cells are returned to the patient.
It is thought that removing the plasma eliminates some of the immune factors that
are responsible for the disease progression.

• Plasmapheresis helps in following ways:

• Reducing the length of the illness


• Shortened time on mechanical ventilation
• Early ambulation

Intravenous immunoglobulins ( I.V.I.G)

• Immunoglobulins are given intravenously which shows a positive impact on the


speed of recovery. But it has been shown to be less effective than plasmapheresis.

Further Medical Management Can Be Done According to the Symptoms and the
Complications

• Supportive Care
• ICU monitoring
• Basic medical management often determines mortality and morbidity.

• Ventilatory Support
• Atelectasis leads to hypoxia.
• Hypercarbia later finding; arterial blood gases may be misleading.
• Vidal capacity, tidal volume and negative inspiratory force are best indicators of
diaphragmatic function.
• Progressive decline of these functions indicates an impending need or ventilatory
assistance. Mechanical ventilation usually required if VC drops below about 14
ml/kg; ultimate risk depending on age, the presence of accompanying lung
disease, aspiration risk, and assessment of respiratory muscle fatigue.
• Atelectasis treated initially by incentive spirometry, frequent suctioning, and
chest physiotherapy to mobilize secretions.
• Intubation may be necessary for patients with substantial oro-pharyngeal
dysfunction to prevent aspiration.
• Tracheostomy may be needed in patients intubated for 2 weeks who do not show
improvement.

• Autonomic Dysfunction
• Autonomic dysfunction may be self-limited; do not over-treat.
• Sustained hypertension managed by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or
beta-blocking agent. Use short-acting intravenous medication for labile
hypertension requiring immediate therapy.
• Postural hypotension treated with fluid bolus or positioning.
• Urinary difficulties may require intermittent catheterization.

• Nosocomial Infections Usually Involve Pulmonary and Urinary Tracts.


• Occasionally central venous catheters become infected.
• Antibiotic therapy should be reserved for those patients showing clinical
infection rather than colonization of fluid or sputum specimens.

• Venous Thrombosis Due to Immobilization Poses a Great Risk of Thromboembolism


• Prophylactic use of subcutaneous heparin and compression stockings.

Physiotherapy Management

Aims of physiotherapy management are:

1. Regain the patient's independence with everyday tasks.


2. Retrain the normal movement patterns.
3. Improve patients posture.
4. Improve the balance and coordination
5. Maintain clear airways
6. Prevent lung infection
7. Support joint in functional position to minimize damage or deformity
8. Prevention of pressure sores
9. Maintain peripheral circulation
10. Provide psychological support for the patient and relatives.
Respiratory Care

The common respiratory complications in the rehabilitation setting include incomplete


respiratory recovery including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive
respiratory disease (pulmonary scarring, pneumonia), and tracheitis from chronic
intubation and respiratory muscle insufficiency. Sleep hypercapnia and hypoxia, which
worsens during sleep can be the result of a restrictive pulmonary function.[18][19]

Treatment methods are:

• Night time saturation records with pulse oximeter and bilevel positive airway
pressure (BiPAP) may be indicated for the patients.
• Physical therapy measures (chest percussion, breathing exercises, resistive
inspiratory training) may be required to clear respiratory secretions to reduce the
work of breathing.
• Special weaning protocol to prevent over fatigue of respiratory muscles can be
recommended for more severe patients with tracheostomy. Patients with cranial
nerve involvement need extra monitoring as they are more prone to respiratory
dysfunction.
• Patients should be encouraged to cease smoking.
• Posturally drain areas of lung tissues, 2-hourly turning into supine or side lying
positions.
• 2-4 litre anesthetic bag can be used to enhance chest expansion. Therefore, 2 people
are necessary for this technique, one to squeeze the bag and another to apply chest
manipulation.
• Rib springing to stimulate cough.
• After the removal of a ventilator and adequate expansion, effective coughing must be
taught to the patient.

Maintain Normal Range of Movement

Gentle passive movements through full ROM at least three times a day especially at hip,
shoulder, wrist, ankle, feet.

Orthoses

Use of light splints (eg. using PLASTAZOTE) may be required for the following
purpose listed below:

• Support the peripheral joints in comfortable and functional position during flaccid
paralysis.
• To prevent abnormal movements.
• To stabilize patients using sandbags, pillows.
Prevention of Pressure Sores

2- hourly change in patients position from supine to side-lying. If the sores have
developed then UVR or ice cube massage to enhance healing.

Maintenance of Circulation

• Passive movements
• Effleurage massage to lower limbs.

Relief of Pain

• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation


• Massage with passive ROM
• The patient can demonstrate increased sensitivity to light touch, a cradle can be used
to keep the bedsheet away from the skin. Low-pressure wrapping or snug-fitting
garments can provide a way to avoid light touch.
• Reassurance and explanation of what to expect can help in the alleviation of anxiety
that could compound the pain.

Strength and Endurance training

Strengthening exercises can involve isometric, isotonic or isokinetic exercises, while


endurance training involves progressively increasing the intensity and duration of
functional activities such as walking or stair-climbing[20].

Functional training

Retraining of dressing, washing, bed mobility, transfers, and ambulation activities


comprise a big part of the rehabilitation process. Balance and proprioception retraining
in all these functional activities should also be included, while motor control can be
achieved by doing Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques [20].
