EM344: ROMA - Workshop: “Efficient sit-to-stand as a prerequisite for locomotion and reaching – the clinical application of the Bobath Concept”

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 workshop is to deepen knowledge relating to the role of the trunk in the functional movement of the limbs and in the transfer of the body in space. A large and recent literature has demonstrated the connection between central stability and functional locomotion/grasping so much so as to support that specific tests and outcome scales for the trunk can be considered predictive and used for prognostic purposes in defining the potential for recovery of long-term extended functions term. Independent sit-to-stand is certainly among the main indicators for functional recovery in many ADLs. However, it is important to know all the components that make this movement of the body against and within gravity efficient in order to be able to recognize the functional pattern from the compensatory one and the consequent clinical repercussions. This workshop aims to be an opportunity to delve deeper into the topic for those who have already participated in the basic level IBITA course but also a way to approach the Bobath concept aimed at all professionals in the neurorehabilitation area interested in better understanding the theoretical- clinics of this approach.
Specific objectives:
- Promote the evidence based approach based on updated literature
- Update knowledge in the neurophysiological field to describe the central organization of postural control and knowledge in the biomechanical field to describe the role of the trunk in the antigravity modulation of the body
- Sharpen the ability to observe postural components in general and specifically related to the sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transition
- Implement specific treatment techniques to optimize the rehabilitation intervention based on the different clinical manifestations
- Refine manual skills, support comparison and discussion between participants and teachers and train clinical reasoning
