Can Plasma Replacement Help Weak Nerves And Muscles?

my father have not been able to walk for over a year and is considering plasma replacement. My father has type 2 diabetes and he has been treated the last year through infusion (IGH?) which have not helped him to walk at all. I would like to know if this might help with the nerves and muscles that have become weakened.
