Authored by members of the British Bobath Tutors Association,Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in NeurologicalRehabilitationis a practical illustrated guide that offers adetailed exploration of the theoretical underpinning and clinicalinterventions of the Bobath Concept.
The evolution of the Bobath concept is brilliantly captured inthis volume. The recognition that the best inhibition may come fromengaging the patient in normal activities is an example of the wayone of the notions central to the original Bobath Concept hasdeveloped. In short, the Bobath Concept lies at the heart of anapproach to neurorehabilitation that is ready to take advantage ofthe rapidly advancing understanding, coming from neuroscience, ofbrain function in, in particular, of the effects of and responsesto damage, and the factors that may drive recovery. It is nocoincidence that neuroplasticity figures so prominently in thepages that follow.'
