Utilizing Augmented Reality in Physiotherapy Rehabilitation During the Initial Stage of Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Study

1

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune condition leading to rapid sensory and motor impairments, primarily caused by prior infections.
2

The most common variant of GBS is Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP), accounting for approximately 97% of cases in North America and Europe.
3

Physiotherapy for GBS is divided into three phases, with the initial phase focusing on pain management and prevention of complications.
4

This case study highlights the integration of augmented reality in physiotherapy, enhancing patient motivation and motor learning during rehabilitation.
5

The patient, a 50-year-old male with AIDP, experienced significant functional limitations, but rehabilitation improved his strength and mobility.
