Bobath - Module 2
2022-07-08 - 2022-07-09
Introduction to Bobath (Module 2)
The Integration of Postural Control and Selective Movement for Functional Activities (Part A)
Duration: Half Day Friday and All Day Saturday
Course Tutor: Sue Armstrong
Course Description: This BBTA module will include patient demonstrations, theoretical and practical sessions. It will focus on the assessment and treatment of the acute and sub-acute patient.
Course Aims:

To identify a framework for assessment and treatment of the acute/subacute patient
To develop skills of observation, analysis, and facilitation in a neurologically intact subject
To link the evidence base and clinical practice

Learning Outcomes:

Describe key components relating to the analysis of position/postural sets (supine and sitting) and movement sequences (supine to sit, sit to supine)
Analyse movement in terms of efficiency and recognise potential causes for lack of efficiency
Understand the wide posture and tonal variations within neurologically intact population
Problem solve appropriate handling in individual models with respect to facilitation of movement

Suitable for: Qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists working in neurology

Cost: £225.

Ataxia Course
2022-06-11 - 2022-06-12
Ataxia Course
This course will focus on the principles of rehabilitation for Ataxic presentations.
Duration: Full day Saturday – Half day Sunday
Course Tutor: Sue Armstrong
Course Description: We will review basic relevant neuroscience of the cerebellum and brainstem, as well as an update of current relevant research, with link to clinical presentations and interventions, including a clinical reasoning focussed patient workshop and practical sessions.
The practical sessions will cover assessment of postural control, movement analysis and movement control, and skill development relevant for common clinical issues, including central vestibular integration with balance.
Suitable for: Qualified PT’s and OT’s who work in neurological rehabilitation. While it is helpful to have attended previous BBTA courses, it is not a pre-requisite.
Cost: £240

Bobath - Module 1
2022-05-27 - 2022-05-28
Introduction to Bobath (Module 1)
Human Movement Analysis as a Basis of Clinical Intervention

Duration: Half Day Friday and All Day Saturday
Course Tutor: Sue Armstrong
Course Description: This two-day module is designed to introduce participants to the concept of movement analysis in the assessment and treatment of adults with neurological or neuromuscular dysfunction.
The module consists of a theoretical introduction to movement analysis, practical sessions, and a patient demonstration.
Course Aims:

To discuss movement analysis based on the Bobath Concept
To explore and enhance skills of observation, analysis and facilitation in a neurologically intact subject
To link the evidence base and clinical practice

Learning Outcomes:

Describe key components relating to the analysis of positions/postural sets (sitting/standing) and movement sequences (sit to stand)
Identify key characteristics of efficient movement performance and recognise potential causes for lack of efficiency
Understand the wide postural and tonal variations in the intact neurological population
Demonstrate efficient handling skills to facilitate movement from one postural set to another (sit to stand to sit)
Apply knowledge of movement analysis to the assessment and treatment of patients with neurological dysfunction

Suitable for: Qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists working in neurology
Cost: £225.
