	Bobath concept - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Bobath Concept is an important approach to rehabilitation in the care of patients with injuries to the brain or spinal cord.
		The concept has achieved good successes in rehabilitation, in particular in the case of people paralysed on one side (hemiplegic) after a stroke.
		The main principle of the Bobath Concept is, on the other hand, to support the affected side of the body as much as is necessary to bring its movements into accord with the less affected side of the body.

	Articles of the EBTA
		The term inhibition was intro-duced by Bobath as a physiological explanation for the effect of handling on spasticity, based on the assump-tion that spasticity resulted from exaggerated/released, abnormal tonic reflexes and subsequently abnormal tonic reflex activity (Mayston 2001a).
		Bobath was that the therapists role was to help the person function in the best way possible, helping them to counteract any unwanted increase in tone, not to stop them moving.
		Bobath in the 1960s stated that 'unless you stimulate or activate your patient in the way in which new activities are possible, you have done nothing at all.

	Bobath concept - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		It is named after its inventors, Berta Bobath, a physiotherapist, and her husband Karel, a psychiatrist].
		It is based on the brain's ability to reorganize (Neuroplasticity), which means that healthy parts of the brain learn and take on the functions which were previously carried out by the damaged regions of the brain.
		In the United States the Bobath Concept is usually referred to as Neuro-Developmental Treatment.

	What is Bobath Therapy
		Bobath therapy is a concept of treatment pioneered by Dr and Mrs Bobath.
		The Bobath concept of teamwork does not end with the therapists; at the outset, parents, carers and the child are consulted to help decide on the specific goals for the child during the therapy block.
		Bobath trained therapists use the term 'postural tone' to describe how stiff or floppy the muscles are.

	The Bobath Centre
		The term inhibition was introduced by Bobath as a physiological explanation for the effect of handling on spasticity, based on the assumption that spasticity resulted from exaggerated / released, abnormal tonic reflexes and subsequently abnormal tonic reflex activity (Mayston 2001a).
		One of the basic ideas underlying the Bobath Concept is that each person with a neurological lesion has the potential for improved functional performance- this is one way that it might be achieved for clients who meet the criteria for inclusion in such a regime.
		Bobath advocated specific preparation for specific function, which is another way of stating this principle of translating activity into function.

		Students are required to contribute to the critical evaluation and development of the Concept, and in particular its application to therapeutic practice.
		The evidence base for the Concept is only now being fully developed and students on this course are expected to play a significant part in its development.
		This demands a range of skills that includes the enhancement of specialist knowledge, the ability to understand and implement research findings, the development of appropriate protocols for the delivery of therapeutic practice based on evidence, and the capacity to initiate monitoring and evaluation of practice.

		The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach to the assessment and treatment of individuals with disturbances of function, movement and postural control due to a lesion of the central nervous system (IBITA 1996, Panturin 2001, Brock et al 2002, Raine 2006).
		The Bobath concept has always stressed the individual nature of each person's problems and the necessity for goal setting and intervention to be determined for the specific individual.
		The Bobath approach is an inclusive one and is used with persons of any age who have incurred damage to their central nervous system, regardless of the degree of severity (Raine 2006).

		One of the basic ideas underlying the Bobath Concept is that each person with a neurological lesion has the potential for improved functional performance- this is one way that it might be achieved for clients who meet the criteria for inclusion in such a regime.

		The Concept involves a transdisciplinary approach to the care of children with cerebral palsy involving physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy.
		The basis of the approach is to use specialised techniques to elicit responses from the children.
		While treating a painter who had suffered a stroke, Berta began to develop a different way of treating spasticity which, was over time to lead to her developing a concept of treatment, not only for the treatment of adults with hemiplegia but also for children with cerebral palsy.

	Scope
		The Bobath concept states that children with cerebral palsy, adults who have suffered strokes and people who have other neurological disorders resulting from brain damage can be helped to move more easily by specialised therapy.
		The Bobath therapist works with the child’s family to teach them how to handle and position the child properly at home so therapy can be continued to encourage and facilitate movement.
		Liaison between the Bobath and local therapists is encouraged and the local therapists are invited to attend during the child's course of treatment.

	heads up! - Neurological Physiotherapy
		The Bobath concept was developed by Berta Bobath, MBE PhD (Hon), who came to the UK from Germany in the 1930’s with her Czech husband, who was a neurologist and psychiatrist.
		Bobath explained the concept in an interview: it is " a whole new way of thinking, observing, interpreting what the patient is doing, and then adjusting what we do in the way of techniques - to see and feel what is necessary, possible for them to achieve.
		The Bobath approach tries to help people move in the most efficient manner so that they conserve their energy, lessen the wear and tear on their bodies and reduce the strain they are feeling.

		The Bobath concept was the preferred approach (n = 67%) followed by an 'eclectic' approach (n = 31%).
		Bobath therapists considered that patients needed to have normal tone and use normal movement patterns in order to perform functional tasks.
		The dominance of the Bobath concept needs to be justified by establishing that it is both effective and efficient at achieving its treatment aims of: normalizing tone, improving intrinsic recovery of the affected side and function within everyday tasks.

	The Bobath Concept - Manchester Neurotherapy Centre
		The Bobath therapist uses specialised handling skills to emphasise qualitative aspects of movement but the final goal is for the individual to be able to function independently.
		It is the ability of the individual to become 'tuned in' to their own movements that allows them to access movement independently.
		The teaching of the Bobath Concept is carried out by Bobath Tutors around the world.

		The Bobath’s theory was that the central problem for children with Cerebral Palsy is the lack of inhibition of primitive reflexes: the primitive reflexes contributing to, if not actually causing, abnormal muscle tone.
		Bobath concept is not a method or technique, not limiting, but fluid; was not rigid but changing, and still changing.
		Bobath therapy is effective for children with all types of cerebral palsy, regardless of their associated problems or age.

	How do we view the new knowledge in the context of the Bobath Concept? (Margaret Mayston) - Danske Fysioterapeuter -
		New knowledge is constantly emerging, and there is an increasing need to demonstrate that therapeutic practice is evidence based.
		However, there are emerging ideas which are complementary to the Bobath Concept.
		Thus in the context of the Bobath Concept, new knowledge should be viewed from a complementary perspective on a background of knowledge of what Bobath is and what it is not, with an openness to the integration of new ideas into clinical practice.
