Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Conventional physiotherapy protocol  The total duration of the intervention will be of 5 weeks.During the acute phase and recovery phase, chest physical therapy including breathing exercises, postural drainage and manual chest percussion and vibrations will be provided. Passive range of motion thrice a day along with joint approximation will be given to increase mobility. To prevent pressure ulcers and bed sores, the position will be changed 2 hourly. For pain relief, TENS can be given initially. During the recovery phase, Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for increasing strength will be initiated along with strengthening using isometric and isotonic which can be later progressed to endurance training. The patient will also be taught task training.  
Comparator Agent  Goal oriented protocol for symptom progression  The total duration will be of 5 weeks.During the acute and plateau phases, for the management of musculoskeletal impairments, the goal will be to restore the functional ability, which will be facilitated by rolling initiation, transition training and positioning. To restore mobility and strength, passive range of motion, PNF D1-2 pattern with rhythmic initiation and quick stretch, facilitatory techniques by Roods and MET along with splinting will be provided. For the management of cardiorespiratory impairments, to facilitate clearance of chest, postural drainage along with manual chest percussions and vibrations. To improve the aeration of lungs by active contraction of the diaphragm, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and diaphragmatic PNF focusing on repeated contraction and rhythmic stabilisation will be emphasized, if the patient is mechanically ventilated, initial stretch technique will be provided. For reducing fatigue with exercises, pursed lip breathing along with energy conservation technique will be taught. For the management of pain and any secondary impairments such as bed sores, TENS and IRR along with adequate positioning will be given. During the recovery phase, to manage musculoskeletal impairments, the goal will be to provide functional independence by promoting more bed mobility and functional training. For the management of and mobility, the goal will be to normalize the strength and range of motion of the weak musculatures of the extremities by providing active, active assisted and resisted range of motion, PNF, NMES and MET. Pre gait training along with gait training will be initiated in parallel bar using postural mirror. For the management of cardiorespiratory impairments, to normalize the strength of diaphragm, resisted diaphragmatic breathing, Diaphragmatic PNF and inspiratory resistance training. To increase the endurance, graded non fatigable aerobic exercise protocol will be given.

Brief Summary  

The study will aim to evaluate a goal-directed physiotherapy protocol for symptom progression of pain, respiratory impairments, and musculoskeletal impairments in Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) patients along their disease progression. It will be devised for a period of 5 weeks and intervention will be modified based on the symptoms.The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of goal directed physiotherapy protocol over conventional physiotherapy protocol.
