Adult polyglucosan body disease - Management and evolution in an intensive rehabilitation program.

Adult polyglucosan body disease is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder. It is characterized by accumulation of an abnormal structural form of glycogen, particularly in central and peripheral nervous system and muscles. Functional impairments and the rehabilitation approach of this entity is rarely reported. We present a case of a 65-year-old female with several years of undiagnosed symptoms. One year after the diagnosis, the patient was evaluated for the first time in a physical and rehabilitation consultation. We describe the inpatient rehabilitation program - an approach planned to achieve high levels of treatment intensity and with intervention of a multiprofessional and multidisciplinary team.
