Educational laboratory
Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: GAETANO CIAFFAGLIONEExpected Learning Outcomes
The Bobath Concept is a Problem Solving approach aimed at the evaluation and treatment of people with function, movement and postural control disorders caused by a lesion of the central nervous system.
The purpose of the Didactic Laboratory is to deepen the theoretical aspects underlying the Concept and translate the theoretical assumptions into clinical skills and techniques applicable in the rehabilitation of adult brain injuries. .
