Inhibits abnormal patterns to facilitate motor function

B. Bobath Technique
Who are the proponents of the Bobath Approach?
Berta and Karl Bobath
TRUE OR FALSE: Brunnstrom emphasizes hands-on facilitation of movement and positioning to “normalize” tone and reduce the influence of abnormal postures (including primitive reflexes).
False.
This is Bobath’s Principle
Enumerate the problems of patients with neurological dysfunction.
- abnormal tone
- loss of automatic postural control
- abnormal coordination
- abnormal functional performance
This is a condition where limbs are stiff and assume abnormal positions such as synergists.
Spasticity
This is a state where limbs feel heavy or floppy and relaxed. It provides no resistance or assistance to passive
motion or range of motion exercises.
Flaccidity
These are known as non-functional and involuntary changes in limb
position and muscle tone
Associated reactions
Enumerate 3 NORMAL postural reactions.
- Righting Reactions
- Equilibrium Reactions
- Protective Extension Reaction
TRUE OR FALSE: Before performing functional skills, there should be a stable posture. If there’s none, it will be difficult for the patient to do normal ADLs
A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. Only the 1st statement is correct
D. Only the 2nd statement is correct
A. Both statements are correct
TRUE OR FALSE: Abnormal function performance shows of an inability to integrate the 1 side of the body to perform activities. In this state, hemineglect is present.
A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. Only the 1st statement is correct
D. Only the 2nd statement is correct
D. Only the 2nd statement is correct
NOTE: Pt has the inability to integrate both sides of the body; thus, they do not mind the affected side.
Enumerate the 3 stages of recovery according to Bobath.
- Initial Flaccid Stage
- Stage of Spasticity
- Stage of Relative Recovery
Match the stages of recovery with its corresponding description.
- Increase in tone may be observed
- No interplay whatsoever between the sound & affected side
- Goal of treatment: improve quality of gait & use of affected hand
- Pt cannot move his affected side & often does not appreciate that he has an arm or a leg on that side
- Stage that most pts with residual hemiplegia comes out for out-patient tx
A. Initial Flaccid Stage
B. Stage of Spasticity
C. Stage of Relative Recovery
- B
- A
- C
- A
- B
What will be the PTs goal when his pt is in the stage of spasticity?
dissociate the synergy pattern by developing control of intermediate joints
What will be the PTs goal when his pt is in the initial flaccid stage?
promote proper positioning & bed mobility
What is the first prerequisite in neurodevelopmental treatments?
correct posture
TRUE OR FALSE: Normal movement is learned by experiencing what a
normal movement feels like
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Based on the principles of motor learning, spasticity is a hindrance to normal movement pattern. It inhibits even when as low as grade 1 or 2.
A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. Only the 1st statement is correct
D. Only the 2nd statement is correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
NOTE: We do not think
about the spasticity as being a hindrance to normal
movement pattern, because in theory, spasticity can only be elicited by fast passive ROM. Spasticity should also not inhibit any movement as
long as spasticity is not grade 3 or 4
TRUE OR FALSE: In Bobath, the tone of the muscle dictates the treatment, so spasticity must first be decreased.
True
Based on the developmental sequence of the principles of treatment, what must be the progression of the pt’s position during tx?
- supine
- sitting
- standing
What is the usual synergy of the UE?
Flexor synergy
What is the usual synergy of the LE?
Extensor synergy
