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
