Introduction:
The Bobath concept is a problem solving approach aimed at evaluating and treating people with disorders of movement, postural control and function caused by 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 in current biomechanical knowledge. The aim of the course is to explore the relationship between the center and periphery of the body starting from an inverse perspective compared to the more classic one presented in the basic course in which the competence of the trunk and axial structures is considered crucial in supporting the movement of the limbs.
In this context we want to emphasize the role of the periphery as a source of sensory information essential for motor control. In particular, attention will be paid to the role of the inputs coming from the hand, the sole of the foot and the head-neck system in the modulation of the output for postural control aimed at locomotion, transfers and reach to grasp. At the end of the course the participant will have a broader and more integrated vision of the postural mechanisms that underlie functional recovery to complete the knowledge on the subject already provided in the basic course.
Specific objectives:
- Promote the evidence based approach based on updated literature
- Deepen knowledge of the mechanisms of integration between sensory and motor systems, between postural systems and selective movement control systems
- Understand how cutaneous and proprioceptive afferent inputs influence postural and motor control
- Acquire facilitation techniques (manual, verbal and environmental) that allow the summation necessary to reach the discharge threshold for the activation of the sensory-motor systems
- Develop reflection for the structuring of a treatment aimed at supporting neuroplastic processes
- Refine manual skills and implement technical competence at an advanced level
- Support comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
