Study Notes
Bobath Concept
- Dr. and Mrs. Bobath developed methods for treating individuals with neurological disorders.
Neurophysiological Basis
- The neurophysiological basis available to Dr. Bobath during the early years was limited.
Understanding Movement
- According to the Bobath Concept, movement was thought to be elicited through the facilitation of normal postural reflexes and mechanisms.
Effects of Lesions
- Lesions to the pyramidal tract produce spasticity.
- The result of lesions to the pyramidal tract is spasticity.
Clinical Interventions
- Early clinical interventions demonstrated that it was possible to promote normal postural reflex mechanisms and improve movement.
Focus of the Bobath Concept
- The focus of the Bobath Concept's method of evaluation and treatment is on promoting normal postural reflex mechanisms and improving movement.
