Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Bobath approach is an important approach to the Rehabilitation of patients with neurological injuries. It is named after its inventors: Berta Bobath, a physiotherapist, and her husband Karel, a psychiatrist/neurophysiologist. In the United States the Bobath concept is usually referred to as 'neuro-developmental treatment'. It is based on the brain's ability to reorganise (Neuroplasticity) and is a multidisciplinary approach, involving physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists.
It was developed for the treatment of individuals with pathophysiology or injury of the central nervous system (CNS), primarily children with Cerebral palsy (CP) and adults with cerebral vascular accidents (CVA or stroke). Individuals with CNS pathophysiology have dysfunction in Posture and movement and subsequent functional activity limitations. The NDT/Bobath approach continues to be enriched with the emergence of new theories, new models and new information in the movement sciences. In addition, as the characteristics of the population with CNS pathophysiology change, the approach continues to evolve.
