Bobath, Berta & Bobath, Karel - Desarrollo Motor en Distintos Tipos de Parálisis Cerebral (2000)

Desarrollo Motor en Destinos Tipos de Paralisis Cerebral.Manual de PhysiotherapiaThe Bobath concept is a broad and ever-evolving approach in neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke,[1] or children with cerebral palsy[2]). The goal of applying the Bobath concept is to promote motor learning for efficient motor control in various environments, thereby improving participation and function. This is done through specific patient handling skills to guide patients through initiation and completion of intended tasks.[3] This approach to neurological rehabilitation is multidisciplinary, primarily involving physiotherapists, but may also include occupational therapists and speech and language therapists. In the United States, the Bobath concept is also known as 'neuro-developmental treatment' (NDT).[1]The concept and its international tutors / instructors, have embraced neuroscience and the developments in understanding motor control, motor learning, neuroplasticity and human movement science. They believe that this approach continues to develop.
