"The use of bobath therapy in the physical rehabilitation of children and adults with movement disorders." Tuition fees for prepayment: until 11.09 - 3200 UAH, and from 12.09 - 3500 UAH The Bobath therapy method was adopted in the 1940s by the spouses Bertha and Karl Bobat, a physiotherapist and neurologist. The couple developed their own approach, which was based on Bertha's clinical observations. Their views were influenced by the theory of reflex and hierarchical maturation of the nervous system existing at that time. Bobath therapy, also known as "Neuro Developmental Treatment" (NDT), has spread widely around the world and had a significant impact on the general development of the principles of physical rehabilitation of children and adults with disorders of ODA and psycho-emotional sphere after the Second World War. this day. The goal of rehabilitation treatment is to stimulate normal motor and mental development, as well as to prevent the occurrence of contractures, deformities and other associated complications. The neurodevelopmental approach of Bobath therapy is aimed at the sensorimotor components of muscle tone (hyper-; hypotonia), reflexes (preserved reflexes of newborns), pathological motor patterns (tremor, friendly movements), postural control, sensory organs, perception and memory - that is, those components , which are most likely to be disturbed when the central nervous system is damaged.The method is based on the impact on the "key points of control" (head, torso, shoulders, pelvis, palms, feet), the so-called areas of the body, in which the strength of receptors is manifested. By acting on key points, the Bobath therapist (a specialist who knows this method) can most effectively control and change postures and movements in those parts of the body where muscle tone increases or decreases. The points can be both distal and proximal.
