Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student acquires knowledge of basic neurophysiological principles of the Bobath concept related to tone modulation and functional recovery guide activities. He acquires skills through simulated activities of postural passages and trunk and limb activities for subjects with stroke diagnoses.
Course contents
The Bobath concept is a problem solving approach to evaluating and treating people with motion, postural, and function disorders, caused by a central nervous system injury. The rationale for its application is rooted in current neuroscientific knowledge of motor control, motor learning, neural and muscular plasticity and current biomechanical knowledge.
Course Content:
- promote the evidence based approach based on an up-to-date literature
- provide useful elements for the observation and evaluation of the neurological patient
- provide useful elements to the treatment of the neurological patient
- support the discussion and discussion between participants and lecturers and train clinical reasoning
