Study Notes
Bobath Treatment Approach
- The Bobath Treatment Approach was developed by Dr. Berta and Dr. Karel Bobath.
Primary Goal and Principles
- The primary goal of the Bobath Treatment Approach is to restore normal movement patterns and promote functional recovery.
- According to the approach, sensations of movement are learned through experience and repetition.
- The Law of Memory states that new motor skills are learned and retained through repeated practice.
- The Law of Shunting describes the process of redirecting abnormal motor patterns to normal ones.
Upper Motor Neuron Lesions (UMNL)
- The main aim of treatment for a patient with UMNL is to inhibit abnormal reflexes and facilitate normal motor patterns.
- The main problems in a patient with UMNL are abnormal motor patterns, increased tone, and loss of motor control.
- Sherrington's Law of Reciprocal Innervation states that when one muscle group is contracting, the opposing muscle group is inhibited.
Reflex Inhibiting Pattern (RIP)
- The Reflex Inhibiting Pattern (RIP) is a technique used to counter flexor spasticity in the trunk and arm.
- The main components of RIP are:
- Inhibition of abnormal reflexes
- Facilitation of normal motor patterns
- Use of proprioception and vestibular stimulation
Treatment Considerations
- Released positive supporting reaction can help to facilitate normal motor patterns and improve balance.
- During treatment, abnormal patterns should be avoided to prevent reinforcement.
- Normal automatic postural reactions include:
- Righting reactions
- Equilibration reactions
- Protective reactions
- RIP stands for Reflex Inhibiting Pattern.
- Sensory stimulation is essential for individuals with hypotonic or sensory disturbances to promote normal motor patterns.
- At the midbrain and cortical level, reflexes should be encouraged to promote normal motor control.
