Understanding and Clinical Implications of Bobath Theory

The Bobath concept, widely used in neurological rehabilitation, is a problem-solving approach that aims to improve movement and function in individuals with neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injuries. This webinar will provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of the Bobath theory and its clinical application in physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Participants will explore key elements of the approach, including postural control, movement analysis, and facilitation techniques. By understanding the neurophysiological basis of the Bobath concept, therapists can integrate its principles into their practice to optimize patient outcomes.

This 1.5-hour live session will combine theoretical discussions with clinical insights, helping professionals refine their treatment strategies for neurological rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives: 

1. To provide an updated understanding of the Bobath concept, as a clinical reasoning framewaork rather than a set of technqiues
    
2. To explore the practical application of Bobath principles in neuro rehabilitation through patient centered examples.
    
3. To compare and contrast the Bobath concept with other therapeutic approaches and discuss when and how to integrate then efficiently
    
4. To encourage critical thinking in clinical descision making based on movement analysis, pataint goals and functional relavance.
