The Bobath concept is named after its inventors: Berta Bobath (physiotherapist) and Karel Bobath (a psychiatrist/neurophysiologist). Their work focused mainly on patients with cerebral palsy and stroke.
Bobath approach is based on the premise that the presence of normal postural reflex mechanisms is fundamental to a motor skill's performance. Bobath interventions are multi-dimensional, individualised, and reflective [5].
