Neurophysiological investigation revealed an axonal polyneuropathy, with impairment of the motor component and preserved sensory function. Despite rapid diagnosis, therapeutic treatment and customized progressive rehabilitation program, nine months after the onset of the disease he presented severe motor sequelae and functional impairment. Patient\u2019s hospitalization lasted about two months, while he performed a conventional rehabilitation training. Besides, he underwent a 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, including both conventional and robotic multidimensional trainings, for 5 1-h sessions per week. Despite the residual global impairment, this treatment, specifically tailored on patient\u2019s skills and progress, promoted improvements in functional abilities such as motricity, trunk control, and activities of daily living. Therefore, this case report evidenced the feasibility and efficacy of a multidimensional robotic therapeutic approach along with conventional treatment in the post-acute phase of GBS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/ejtm.2025.12758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]],"date-time":"2025-07-03T03:33:39Z","timestamp":1751513619000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Is a multidimensional robotic rehabilitation approach feasible in Guillain-Barr\u00e8 syndrome?
