Scope and Impact of Physiotherapy in Organophosphorus Poisoning in Delayed Polyneuropathy: A Scoping Review
Tejal Varpe, Dr K. Shyam
Abstract: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning can lead to delayed neuropathy, manifesting as a range of debilitating symptoms. This scoping review explores the role of physiotherapy in managing delayed polyneuropathy resulting from OP poisoning. We systematically examined existing literature to assess the scope and impact of physiotherapeutic interventions on functional recovery and quality of life in affected individuals. Findings suggest that physiotherapy, including targeted exercise programs and neurorehabilitation strategies, may enhance motor function and reduce disability. However, evidence is limited and often inconclusive, highlighting the need for further research to establish comprehensive guidelines and optimize therapeutic approaches. This review underscores the potential benefits of integrating physiotherapy into the multidisciplinary treatment of OP - induced delayed neuropathy.
