EM116: Workshop: The indivual, inclusive and contextualised approach of the patient with severe acute brain injury and rehabilitative continuation - Bobath Concept

Introduction and course aims:

The Bobath concept is a problem solving approach aimed at the evaluation and treatment of people with movement disorders, postural control and function, caused by a central nervous system injury. This approach to adult rehabilitation with central neurological damage originates from the work of Berta and Karel Bobath and has evolved over the last 60 years. The rationale for its application has its roots in current neuroscientific knowledge related to motor control, motor learning, neural and muscular plasticity and current biomechanical knowledge. The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge of the specific problems of the patient with severe head trauma for a better evaluation ability of the different clinical pictures, it is to develop the observation capacity and the clinical reasoning to identify the aspects that limit the functional recovery, is to implement thetechnical skills for the treatment in order to better cope with the critical aspects highlighted. The structure of the workshop-like event will leave ample space for the presentation of clinical cases and the practice / laboratory for the development of the manual skills of the operators.

Specific objectives:
- Promote evidence-based approach based on updated literature
- Acquire specific terminology to describe the rehabilitative approach to the brain injured patient according to the Bobath Concept
- Updating knowledge in the biomechanical and neurophysiological fields in relation to the problems of the patient with severe brain injury in the different phases of the rehabilitation process
- Refine the ability to monitor and acquire models for the evaluation of acute, post-acute and chronic patients
- Implement treatment techniques to encourage the recovery of brain injured patient within their daily life context
- Refine to dexterity and implement technical competence at an introductory level
- Support comparison and discussion between participants and clinical reasoning
