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.'

This book guides the reader through general principles to more
specific application of neurophysiological principles and movement
re-education in the recovery of important areas, including moving
between sitting and standing, locomotion and recovery of upper limb
function.

Bobath Concept: Theory and Clinical Practice in Neurological
Rehabilitationwill be invaluable to undergraduate and qualified
physiotherapists /occupational therapists and all professionals
working in neurological rehabilitation.

* Covers the theoretical underpinning of the Bobath Concept.

* Presents a holistic, 24-hour approach to functional
recovery.

* Focuses on efficient movement and motor learning, to maximise
function.

* Forges links between theory and clinical practice.

* Illustrated throughout.
