case_images: The clinical chart of the medical treatment, rehabilitation program, and clinical improvement is shown in Figure 2. In addition, plasma exchange (plasma volume = 60 mL/kg/day, days 10, 13, 16, 18, and 20) was performed five sessions and intravenous immunoglobulin (dosage = 0.4 g/kg/day, days 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28) was administered five times (Figure 2(a)).
case_images: Belt electrodes were wrapped around the waist, distal parts of the thigh, and the crus of the paralyzed side. The waist electrode had a width of 5.5 cm and a length of 40 cm twice (a), the thigh electrode had a width 5.5 cm and a length 54 cm (b), and the crus electrode had a width 5.5 cm and a length 31 cm (c).
