Basic Bobath Course in Australia

By popular demand a Basic Bobath course is planned for Melbourne in 2008 (venue to be confirmed). The course will be conducted over 3 weeks, 14 – 26 April 2008 and 16 – 20 June 2008. At the end of this workshop participants should be able to:

• Understand the principles of the Bobath concept
• Understand current neurophysiology relevant to the application of the Bobath concept
• Understand the range of normal movement and appreciate major causes of deviations of normal movement and posture
• Analyse movement in terms of efficiency and recognise potential causes for lack of efficiency
• Use enhanced observation, analytical and facilitation skills, acquired through the study of normal movement, to develop individual treatment strategies for patients with movement disorders

Pre requisites of the Course

• Attendance at a ‘What is Normal Movement’ course is a required for application to the Basic Bobath Course.
• Successful completion of the course requires submission of an independent project (either an essay or single case design study) between week 2 and week 3 after the course.
• Those participants who have indemnity insurance please provide proof with payment.
• It is recommended that OT’s revise their anatomy prior to the course as there will be an assumption of this knowledge base.
• Pre reading suggestions will be forwarded closer to the time.

I hope they give out freebies like promotional pens to participants. Sometimes giveaways like these make these expensive courses worth attending, don’t you think?
