ABSTRACT Objective:The study was about to find out the functional recovery and quality of life of post Guillain-Barre’ syndrome patients.Method:A follow up survey study was conducted on 100 GBS patients. Data was collected by both face to face and telephonic interview from January 2021-july 2021by using GBS disability scale and through self-designed questionnaire.Descriptive data analysis was done by using Microsoft Office Excel 2019. Frequency tables used to describe the distribution of study variables through filter method.Results:Study showed, 45 subjects of age, < 40 years and 55 subjects of age > 40 years participated. The mean age was 40.08 year. GBS affected more in 40-60 age group and male were more affected than female.it was reported in the study that in long term period according to GBS disability scale most participants scored 1(minor symptoms and capable of running) and 14 subjects scored 6 (dead). In the study (30%) started their recovery during 7d-15d, and 27% got recovered within 6 months. After recovery also they faced problems in getting up from floor, stair climbing, walking, weight lifting, running, U/L balance, pain, SOB and tiredness etc. Due to certain residual impairments, they had faced mild problem in doing their gross motor ADL activities, but still 18 (20%) subjects were unable to do IADL (instrumental ADL) activities and 14 (16%) were unable to do fine motor activities and 20% were able to do the fine motor activities with mild weakness and vibration of hands. Study reported Participants recovered from depression, able to participate socially and improved their QOL, but still 5% participants had faced problems to connect socially, that hampered their QOL.Conclusion:participants improved very well in body structure and function components, like supine to sit, sit to stand, walking in a session, lifting heavy weight and bilateral balance, but in long-term still subjects had residual problems like, paresthesia, fatigue, neuropathic pain, as well as unilateral balance that affected their ADL activities, participation, social life style as well as their Quality of life accordingly.
