Abstract
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy where the etiology is not clear. Some of the most important problems in this type of syndrome are balance and gait disorders. Traditional rehabilitation includes exercises such as proper limb positioning, posture, orthotics, and activities that patients carry out in daily living (ADL). Novel therapies based on Virtual Motor Rehabilitation (VMR) are alternative treatments to increase the patient’s motor recovery. In this paper, we proposed a virtual rehabilitation system (ABAR) to increase the results in static and dynamic balance for Guillain-Barré patients. The results of the clinical test show that the use of the ABAR system improves balance, postural control, and gait in Guillain-Barré patients.
