Definition:
<u The Bobath approach is a problem-solving neurodevelopmental(NDT) approach for assessment and treatment of individuals with cerebral palsy and other allied neurological conditions
- It is named after its inventors: Berta Bobath, a physiotherapist, and her husband Karel, a psychiatrist/neurophysiologist.
- The Bobath approach addresses the problems that occur as a result of impairment of the developing central nervous system that affect the individual's sensory - motor, cognitive, perceptual, social and emotional development
- It is an approach/concept, not a method
- It recognises that all clients with neurodisability have the potential for enhanced function
- It recognises the need for thorough analysis of each patient's functional skills
- need for the person's own activity
- Based on available knowledge evidence
- It is an important approach to the rehabilitation of patients with neurological injuries.
- In the United States the Bobath concept is usually referred to as 'neuro-developmental treatment' (NDT).
- 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.
- 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.[2]
