BOBATH-CONCEPT
The Bobath concept is an individualized, everyday-life-oriented therapy concept that promotes the mobility and independence of people with neurological conditions. It is based on neuroplasticity, i.e., the brain's ability to form new connections and relearn functions.
It was developed by the physiotherapist Berta Bobath and the neurologist Karel Bobath in collaboration.
This treatment can be used for patients after a stroke, with multiple sclerosis, with Parkinson's disease or after a traumatic brain injury.
The goals of Bobath therapy are:
- Improvement of posture and movement control
- Promoting an efficient gait pattern
- Normalization of muscle tension (tone, spasticity)
- Promoting balance and coordination
- Increasing independence in everyday life
Which treatment strategies are used?
- Tone-regulating positioning and stretching
- Training movement transitions and transfers
- Promoting strength in the legs, arms and torso
- Balance and coordination training
- Gait training
- Improvement of hand/arm function
- Mirror therapy
What are the advantages of this treatment?
- individual treatment adaptation to the respective deficits
- increased independence
- combination of nerve mobilization from the Maitland concept and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
- continuous monitoring of treatment progress
