“…Tovazhnyanska et al conducted a study to determine the role of rehabilitation in the treatment algorithm of patients with MG and the components of post-surgical treatment-rehabilitation. In this study, they mentioned that rehabilitation for MG patients is not the main part of the patient's treatment algorithm, but a very important part 12 . The aims of the rehabilitation program in MG are to maximize functional capacity, maintain independence in daily life and transfer activities, limit the progression of the disease, prevent physical deformities, increase the quality of life of patients and support their participation in society 1 .…”

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which neuromuscular transmission is blocked and neuromuscular junction physiology is affected. The main feature in MG is altered muscle weakness and fatigue of muscle groups that worsens with exercise and improves with rest. With the emergence of muscle weakness in the following periods, walking is affected in MG. This causes balance and walking problems. Most of the patients have complaints of falling and fear of falling. While applying MG treatment, myasthenic symptoms should be reduced and a stable clinical picture should be obtained in which the daily activities of the person are relieved. The aim of this study is to understand the effect of rehabilitation practices on gait in MG and to determine which exercises are effective. As a result, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches can provide solutions to patients' complaints, albeit symptomatically. Active resistance exercises, aerobic exercises, balance strategy training, endurance exercises, posture exercises, stretching exercises and active–passive range of motion exercises should be performed in an exercise program. In addition, rhythmic auditory stimulation and pre-surgical respiratory physiotherapy also have positive effects on walking.
