Who developed the Bobath approach?
Bertie Bobath (physiotherapist)Dr. Karel Bobath (pediatric surgeon)
What models were created in the early 1950's post WWII?
Bobath (NDT), Brunstom, PNF
What are the relevant populations for Bobath
-hemiplegia-CP-some treatments may be effective for other CNS issues-adult CVA
Hemiplegic posturing...head...trunk...UE...LE...
...its the first thing you check...rotates away from affected side...shoulder drops...in flexion, hand fisted or clawed...hip will hike, knee locked out
5 concepts and assumptions
1.) clinical observation of neuro-phenomena2.) outcome studies (look at end point)3.) recent neuroscience connections have been used to rein from practice4.) facilitation can increase neuromuscular activities5.) inhibition can suppress unwanted movement *function and inhibition drive this model!!!
What are the four theoretical foundations?
1.) normal tone2.) muscle weakness as a result of abnormal tone3.) normal muscle movement patterns yield function4.) compensation of the CNS follows insult
1:Neural
=constant steady massages given that balance tone (automatic tonic CNS)
1:Non-neural
=has a certain amount of elasticity to it. Tendons have a certain length
too long/too short problemshas do to with tissues/muscles
1:hyperreflexia
Can be decreased by inhibition. Reflexes trying to take over the signal causes high tone (upper motor neuron problem)
1:inhibition
Ways to mess with signals to decrease hyperflexia
Equal firing does not equal
Increase in function
What is task oriented
CNS
Rehab is best accomplished through what kind of task?
Purposeful tasks
Difference between NDT and brunstrum?
Brunstom = all movement is goodNDT = avoid synergistic movement
reflexive movements NOT in NDT
Dysfunction continuum
Presence of abnormal tone (hyper or hypo) and movement patterns that limit everyday activities
