Neurodevelopmental Treatment

Berta and Karel Bobath have contributed a wealth of information on the treatment of cerebral palsy since the 1940s. Their teachings have had a strong impact on the therapeutic techniques used by pediatric physical therapists in the treatment of neuromotor dysfunction. The purpose of this article is to review an extensive sample of works on the neurodevelopmental treatment approach written by Karel and Berta Bobath. Over the past four decades, many concepts have remained unchanged in the writings while others have undergone evolution.
