EM232: Workshop: "Beyond the stroke" The Bobath Concept applied to the evaluation and treatment of various acquired neurological conditions

The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach aimed at assessing and treating people with movement, postural control and function disorders caused by a central nervous system injury. 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 70 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. The purpose of the course is to deepen the knowledge of the motor problems of the proximal part of the upper limb after stroke in order to support functional recovery and prevent secondary complications. We will also try to define the best rehabilitation intervention for the management of associated problems such as structured malalignment, biomechanical limitations and pain that often limit the functional use of the arm and hand more than the paresis itself.

Course objectives

  • Discuss the neurophysiological basis of neural coupling of the lower and upper limbs for locomotion and transfer this knowledge into clinical practice

  • Know the recent literature to understand the functioning of Central Pattern Generators and discuss how peripheral afference and descending control affect their activation.

  • Discuss the coordination between the limbs in locomotion from a biomechanical point of view

  • Explain recent evidence in terms of postural control and gait by emphasizing how motor control changes during complex locomotor tasks

  • Deepen the neural mechanisms of motor control of the lower and upper limbs in healthy subjects and recognize the pathological patterns after central injury

  • Support the comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
