Reply to The outcome of severe Guillain-Barré syndrome  after robotic or conventional rehabilitation also depends on the triggering agent and the neurophysiological subtype.

Dear Editor, We read the interesting letter to the Editor by Dr. Finsterer and appreciated the comments on our work. In this paper we aim at answering to the questions raised. For the first point, Dr Finsterer suggests to add information about Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and needle Electromyography (EMG); unfortunately, we are not able to give the neurophysiological investigations acquired during the first admission at the hospital. Anyway, as regards the type of GBS, we can point out that he was diagnosed with an Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN), as stated by previous medical documents. Furthermore, we can confirm that the patient presented cranial nerve involvement, as evidenced by the ascending paralysis which involved trunk and head control, swallowing problems, mimic musculature deficits and respiratory impairment.[...].
