Advanced Early Assessment and Intervention
with Babies and Young Children
(London Bobath Centre in UK)
고주연 Ko, Jooyeon (Jooyun)
Course aims and objectives
 Apply the Bobath concept in early assessment and intervention
to include current views on early treatment and management
 Develop better facilitation/handling skills through problem
solving
 Develop better observation skills through video case studies
 Gain an in depth understanding of normal, abnormal and
atypical development for preterm and term babies in the first
year of life
2
Course aims and objectives
 Gain a greater understanding of the assessment tools /
methods available to therapists in early intervention
 Have an opportunity to learn about a developmental approach
when working in NICU
 Gain an in depth knowledge and understanding of early
patterns of brain damage, investigation methods, medication
and medical intervention
 Gain a better understanding of normal feeding patterns and
feeding difficulties in preterm infants and the implications for
practice

Bobath concepts or N.D.T
 88% of neurological physiotherapists in the UK use Bobath
approach.
 It depends on when you trained, where and who with.
(Davidson and Waters, 2000)
That’s the reason why I had attended the London Course. 
 When therapist attending the pediatric course at the Bobath Centre
are asked what Bobath, the reply usually concerns the use of
techniques of inhibition of abnormal tone and movement patterns,
facilitation of more normal movement, and possibly stimulation in
case of hypotonia or muscle activity. These techniques should not
be considered to be Bobath, and yet for most therapists Bobath
these thechniques re Bobath.

It is a neurodevelopmental approach to
treat CP and other neurological conditions
It addresses the problems resulting of
impairment of the developing CNS affecting
individual’s sensory-motor, cognitive,
perceptual, social & emotional
development Attention
 Framework for clinical reasoning
 Analysis and understanding of the individual’s sensori-motor
function, tone and patterns of movement and the way these affect
the individual’s ability to participate in everyday life
 Knowledge of how the clinical features evolve, and is proactive
working to minimize secondary problems
 Education to enable ‘treatment’ to be combined into everyday
management

Children with Cerebral Palsy
 Presence of abnormal patterns of posture and movement
resulting from early brain lesion and subsequent abnormal
postural tone
 CP is a persistent condition where atypical postural tone
reflects the use of atypical patterns of coordination
 These atypical patterns of coordination are determined
by the original impairment of the CNS, the ways the
person has learnt to develop postural stability and to
interact with the environment and subsequent
musculoskeletal changes
Maes J-P, 2013

 Preparation for function
- Systematic preparation for function
- Muscle needs to be at the best length for activation
- Functional goals (for child/ parents)
 Tone Influence Patterns
- Handling: affect changes using key point of control to reduce
tone, stimulate, activate, facilitates)
- Give the sensation of more normal movement
- Autonomic / voluntary
Bobath concept or N.D.T. (4)
12
 Problem solving approaches
- Pleasure and success
- Purposeful, play centered and goal directed activities
- Give the opportunity for practise and repetition of normal
activities to facilitate sensory motor learning
- Use ‘child development’ as a reference and select which activity,
sequences or part of a sequence are more useful to practice
 Parent participation
- Essential for carryover and management
 Transdisciplinary approach
- Teamwork (common goals): Therapists and doctors, and care-
givers to reinforce the input into daily life

MANY THANKS. ^^
 Bobath concept에 대한 치료사 각자의 이해 및 적용이
필요 (self-directed career development)
 환자와 보호자가 참여할 수 있도록 치료와 교육의 역할
에 대한 책임감을 분담할 것(교육과 확인)
 치료적 목표에 대하여 보호자와 현실적 토의가 필요함
작은 변화에 대한 주관적 만족감 ≥ 객관적 평가수치
