to reduce the muscle tone such as in CP
It's a concept in rehabilitation of children with Cerebral Palsy to promote motor learning for efficient motor control, improving participation and function. And this is done through specific patient handling skills to guide patients through initiation and completion of intended tasks.
ITS A FORM OF PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR BAY WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
Inhibit abnormal reflex activity and facilitate postural reactions for a better balance and movement.
it is a approach to treat children with cerebral palsy with delayed gross motor milestones
Its basically a approach to Facilitate the impaired gross motor skills in children to treat and correct the different normal patterns.
The Bobath Concept helps us analyse the child’s present level of activity and participation.
we analyse the daily activities of the child and note how their patterns of movement and postural tone present when the child wants or needs to do something. Postural/muscle tone is described as the amount of muscle activity needed in order to maintain a posture or to support an activity.
The Concept also allows us to understand how other factors related to CP such as sensory impairments may have an important effect on performing every day tasks.
