Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to check the effect of closed kinematic chain exercises on distal muscle weakness in post Guillain Barre Syndrome. Method 30 subjects diagnosed with post guillain baree syndrome were included in this study. These subjects were allocated by convenient sampling method. The subjects with manual muscle testing grade 3 and above were included. During Pre treatment and post treatment assessment upper limb muscle strength was measured by handheld dynamometer and for lower limb passive dorsiflexion range was measured by goniometer. These outcome measures were analyzed. Result Pre and post treatment protocol was analyzed by using paired t test. Data analysis showed extremely significance for handheld dynamometer (p=0.0001) and goniometer (p=0.0001). Conclusion The effect of closed kinematic chain exercises for distal muscle weakness has shown good progress in post Guillain barre syndrome subjects with the help of handheld dynamometer and Goniometer.
