Effect of the Task Approach, Airway Clearance, Kinesthetic Exercise (TASKS) Paediatric Rehabilitation Protocol on Miller-Fisher Syndrome Variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report

Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with varying incidence rates geographically. MFS is primarily diagnosed based on clinical features, such as ataxia and areflexia, although other neurological symptoms may also present. A case of MFS has been presented, characterized by complaints of ataxia, areflexia, bilateral foot and hand pain and difficulty in swallowing. In this regard, a paediatric rehabilitation approach has been adopted, utilizing outcome measures, such as the Erasmus Guillain-Barre Syndrome Respiratory Insufficiency Score-Kids, WeeFIM and paediatric balance scale, in addition to clinical evaluation. It is worth noting that the presented case demonstrates the importance of accurately diagnosing and treating this rare neurological condition MFS. Through the implementation of appropriate rehabilitation strategies, it is possible to enhance patients' quality of life.
