Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological Rehabilitation
Authored by members of the British Bobath Tutors Association,Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological
Rehabilitationis a practical illustrated guide that offers a
detailed exploration of the theoretical underpinning and clinical
interventions of the Bobath Concept.
The evolution of the Bobath concept is brilliantly captured in
this volume. The recognition that the best inhibition may come from
engaging the patient in normal activities is an example of the way
one of the notions central to the original Bobath Concept has
developed. In short, the Bobath Concept lies at the heart of an
approach to neurorehabilitation that is ready to take advantage of
the rapidly advancing understanding, coming from neuroscience, of
brain function in, in particular, of the effects of and responses
to damage, and the factors that may drive recovery. It is no
coincidence that neuroplasticity figures so prominently in the
pages that follow.?
