Course Objectives:
This course aims to deepen the skillful observational analysis of posture and movement and improve facilitation skills beyond the level provided in the Basic Course on Assessment and Treatment of Adults with Neurological Conditions – The Bobath Concept.
The primary goal of this course is to understand the spastic movement disorder resulting from central nervous system alterations (stroke, TBI, multiple sclerosis, incomplete spinal cord injury), and to understand the correlation of positive and negative clinical signs after an upper motor neuron lesion.
The advanced course is comprised of lectures, clinical reasoning sessions corresponding to
treatment demonstrations, practical sessions, and supervised treatment sessions with
neurological impaired patients.
Specific Objectives:
  • To promote an evidence-informed approach based on current literature in relation to upper motor neuron syndrome.
  • Understand the relevance of neural weakness in movement dysfunction.
  • Implement clinical reasoning strategies for people with neurological disorders.
  • Identify the patient’s potential to achieve optimal functional activity.
  • Acquire an advanced level of facilitation skills (manual, verbal, and environmental) for the treatment of adults with Neurological Conditions
