EM105: EBTA Basic Level Course: The Rehabilitation of Cerebral Palsy and Similar Neurological Conditions - Bobath Concept

The Bobath Concept is a problem-solving rehabilitative approach, aimed at the evaluation and treatment of children with disorders of function, movement and postural control caused by damage to the central nervous system.

In particular, the current intervention is enriched by the contribution of new discoveries on motor control and learning, on neuromuscular plasticity and on biomechanics. The goal of treatment is to optimize the function. The typical / efficient and atypical motor behavior after injury is currently interpreted in the light of systemic, ecological and action-oriented models. The Bobath Concept is a manual approach where the facilitation of movement is the "complex therapeutic tool" to improve the child's interaction with the environment. Spasticocentric vision and inhibition of pathological movement patterns as a treatment target is currently outdated. The close relationship between postural control and selective motion for motor control is considered a key aspect of functional recovery. Repetition in variable contexts and with diversified strategies for solving problems is an equally fundamental element to induce a stable and generalizable change. To induce this change, mainly proprioceptive and kinesthetic tact channels are used. Feedback is fundamental to learning processes, but the Bobath Concept recognizes, of course, the importance of pro-active anticipation processes. Error and error reprocessing are recognized as important elements of the learning process.

The Bobath Concept also provides for a global involvement of all the reference figures that revolve around the patient (family, medical specialists, care givers, rehabilitation professionals) in this way the treatment takes on a multidisciplinary and continuous dimension in the day by not limiting itself exclusively to the treatment session. In fact, it extends to the multiple aspects of the patient's relationship life by taking care of the daily life activities (family, school and connected to all the other experiential fields of the child) so that the results obtained with the therapy can be transferred with profit in daily life and contribute to the full development of evolutionary potential.

Objectives of the course:

The aim of the course is to provide a solid theoretical and practical training for the clinical evaluation and treatment of the child affected by PCI in order to identify the priority and essential needs for development and growth. Through a sensorimotor approach and a suitable context / activity the operator will be able to guide the child in the development of the fundamental prerogatives for his growth path avoiding secondary damages that could aggravate the starting clinical picture.

Specific teaching:

Theoretical bases of the Bobath Concept, Neural organization of movement and perception, Motor control and motor learning, Neuro-evolutionary growth, The role of postural control in functional activities, Pathophysiology of PCI and related neurological conditions for the treatment, processing of PRI and patient management, Meeting points between Bobath Concept and ICF classification, Demonstration of clinical cases by teachers, Working groups for the evaluation and treatment of children with central damage, Practical laboratory for the acquisition of manual skills and basic techniques.

The teaching activity will be articulated in: magisterial lessons; series of reports on a preordained theme; presentation of clinical cases in plenary session; direct execution by all participants of practical and / or technical activities, treatment of clinical cases by the participants. The course is internationally recognized and enables access to advanced EBTA training courses.
