    1. The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that promotes motor learning and efficient motor control through specific patient handling skills to guide patients in tasks. 2. Bobath is based on the brain's ability to adapt and recover after neurological damage. It encourages normal movement patterns and maximum functional recovery while discouraging muscle strength training. 3. Bobath therapy can be applied to individuals of any age with central nervous system damage, including stroke and cerebral palsy patients, to release abnormal tone and promote selective movement control.

    Bobath Therapy:
    The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological
    rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and
    treatment. 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. This approach to neurological
    rehabilitation is multidisciplinary, primarily involving
    physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and
    language therapists.

    Principles of Bobath
    Bobath is based around the brains ability to adapt to
    change and reorganise and recover after neurological
    damage.
    The Bobath approach rests on a number of principles
    that include:
    Encouragement of normal movement patterns
    Discouragement of muscle strength training
    Promotion of maximum functional recovery to improve
    quality of independence.

    Stroke and CP patients:


    Neurodevelopmental treatment is based on the premise
    that the presence of normal postural reflex mechanisms
    is fundamental to a motor skill's performance. The
    normal postural reflex mechanisms consist of righting
    and equilibrium reactions, reciprocal innervation, and
    coordination patterns. The release of abnormal tone and
    tonic reflexes seen in CP interfered with the
    development of righting and equilibrium reactions
    Regardless of severity, individuals of any age with
    damage to their CNS can be handled with this approach.
    This makes the approach different from other forms of
    treatment, like motor relearning or constraint-induced
    movement therapy, which can only work on high
    functioning individuals.
    Selective movement control for the production of
    coordinated sequences of movements.

    Basic Idea of Bobath approach:


    The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach used
    in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with
    movement and postural control disturbances due to a
    lesion of the central nervous system.
    They developed this approach for effective management
    of neuro-motor dysfunctions manifested by children with
    cerebral palsy (CP). Earlier, braces, passive stretching,
    and surgery were the most common forms of
    interventions. The Bobath concept provided a new
    reference that viewed children with CP as having
    difficulty with postural control and movement against
    gravity.
    Treatment methods using
    Bobath therapy:
    Bobath physiotherapists encourage a person to move in
    the most normal and energy efficient way and prevent
    abnormal movement patterns in order to:
    Improve ability with everyday activities
    Increase independence
    Achieve maximum potential
    The Bobath approach also emphasises the importance of
    early rehabilitation, consistency of practise and a
    stimulating environment in order to promote recovery.
