Re-educating walking after central injury remains the "golden goal" of rehabilitation and the first goal for many patients.
Current knowledge in neuroscience and biomechanics has enriched the basis for building a tailor-made treatment in different clinical conditions.
The aim of the course is to look at locomotion as a complex function that involves the entire neuro-musculoskeletal system in order to identify specific problems of each individual patient, build an individualized treatment and develop clinical reasoning on the basis of scientific evidence. The course is very oriented towards developing clinical observation skills and manual skills for the treatment of patients in relation to the theoretical knowledge provided directly by researchers in the field.
For this reason, although it is open to all those who have participated in a Bobath Basic course, it is particularly recommended as a second (or subsequent) advanced course.
