Guillain-Barré syndrome is categorized under which?

• A. Congenital Disorders
• B. Developmental Disorders
• C. Neuromuscular Disorders
• D. Orthopedic Injury

Answer: (C)

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder because it directly affects the peripheral nerves and the muscles they control, leading to rapidly progressive weakness and loss of reflexes. It is acquired and immune-mediated, often after an infection, rather than something present at birth or tied to developmental timing. It isn’t an orthopedic injury, which would involve bones, joints, or connective tissue trauma. So the condition fits best under neuromuscular disorders.
