Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a progressive autoimmune disease that destroys the myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves (latov; Janssen et al).

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Introduction:
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a progressive autoimmune disease that destroys the myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves (latov; Janssen et al). Individuals with this nervous system disorder tend to present physically with symmetrical weakness, balance problems, impaired sensation and diminished reflexes in addition to problems at a neurological level (latov, Janssen et al., 2018). The long term nature of this condition leads to abnormalities in gait and impairments in both psychological and social functioning (Janssen et al., 2018).
