EM341: Workshop - The clinical benefits of rotation in the treatment of central lesions: enhancing motor control according to the Bobath Concept

Introduction:
The movements of the body that follow a linear trajectory are the result of a series of rotations and counter-rotations of the body segments: rotation is dominant in all activities of daily life such as walking, running, climbing the stairs, taking an object from the shelf...
Rotation functionally connects the two sides of the body, the upper extremities with the lower ones, facilitates the transmission of forces between body segments, enhances the lengths and ranges of movement, modulates reflex responses in many neurological conditions, it is an accessory movement that allows joints to move at full range.
In central lesions this motor component is often limited and the movement as a whole appears rigid, not very fluid and dominated by high levels of fixation. The aim of this workshop is to reflect on the importance of using rotation in a therapeutic key (in joint, tissue, trunk and limb mobilisation) to look at the recovery of movement in its three-dimensionality. The Bobath Concept is an approach to the rehabilitation of adults with acquired neurological damage born 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.
Specific objectives:
- Train the analysis of functional movement by refining evaluation skills to identify deviations of pathological movement compared to the typical patterns of the main activities of daily life
- Better understand the role of rotation at the muscular, joint and axial level for the movement of the limbs and body in space
- Acquire facilitation techniques to recover and train the movement understood in its three-dimensionality and refine manual skills
- Support comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
