Questions and Answers

What did Dr. and Mrs. Bobath develop methods for treating?

  • Patients with muscular dystrophy
  • Patients with cerebral palsy and hemiplegia/hemiparesis (correct)
  • Patients with spinal cord injuries
  • Patients with peripheral nervous system lesions

    • According to the Bobath Concept, movement was thought to be elicited through:

  • The direct control from the cortex
  • The inhibition from higher centers
  • The stimulation of reflexes in the spinal cord (correct)
  • The activation of peripheral nerves

    • Lesions to the pyramidal tract produce:

  • An increase in inhibitory control and contralateral flaccid hemiplegia
  • A loss of inhibitory control and contralateral spastic hemiplegia (correct)
  • A loss of excitatory control and ipsilateral spastic hemiplegia
  • An increase in excitatory control and ipsilateral flaccid hemiplegia

    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.
