Bobath Concept

The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation used in assessing and treating patients recovering from conditions such as stroke. It aims to promote motor learning for efficient motor control across everyday environments, improving a patient participation and function through specific handling skills that guide the initiation and completion of intended tasks. The approach is multidisciplinary, applied primarily by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists working together. In the United States, the same approach is known as neuro-developmental treatment, or NDT.
