The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach aimed at assessing and treating people with movement, postural control and function disorders caused by an injury to the central nervous system. This approach to the rehabilitation of adults 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 is rooted in current neuroscientific knowledge relating to motor control, motor learning, neural and muscular plasticity and current biomechanical knowledge.
Purpose of the course:
Present the correlation of positive and negative clinical signs after central lesion: signs that emerge, evolve and interact resulting in a dynamic picture that extends throughout the recovery phase.
Highlight the close relationship between negative signs and the level of disability in order to orient the rehabilitation strategies to the root cause of the functional deficit.
To give ample space to the treatment of patients to develop clinical reasoning in different neurological conditions and to implement specific technical skills
Specific objectives:
- Promote the evidence based approach based on updated literature
- To deepen the knowledge of the negative and positive signs of the UMNS
- Understanding how weakness is the motor problem most connected to disability
- Define in depth the neurophysiological and biomechanical mechanisms underlying stiffness and spasticity
- Acquire facilitation techniques (manual, verbal and environmental) for the treatment of adult patients with central damage acquired at an advanced level
- Support the comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
