Introduction and objectives of the course:
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 on pathophysiological and evolutionary mechanisms of the pathology, the potential medical treatment and the classification of the clinical aspects of the patient suffering from multiple sclerosis. The training objective is to offer the participant the opportunity to acquire new practical strategies and clinical reasoning to address the most common neurological problems in this category of patients such as central weakness / paralysis, spasticity, ataxia, sensory disturbances .
Specific objectives:
- Promote the evidence based approach based on updated literature
- Acquire specific terminology to describe the rehabilitative approach to the patient with Multiple Sclerosis according to the Bobath Concept
- Updating knowledge in the biomechanical and neurophysiological fields, especially in relation to the specific problems of the patient with multiple sclerosis in the different phases of the rehabilitation process
- Refine the ability to observe and acquire models for the evaluation of the different clinical manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis
- Implement specific treatment techniques for central weakness / paralysis, spasticity, ataxia, sensory disturbances
- Refine the manual skills at an introductory level
- Support the comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
