Bobath Basic Level (IBITA Certified)

IBITA Bobath Basic Course

The Assessment and Treatment of Adults with Neurological Conditions

Build a structured approach to assessing and treating adults with neurological conditions through the Bobath Concept. This intensive postgraduate course connects current evidence in neuroscience and motor control with clinical reasoning and practical treatment.

Across three parts, you will learn through lectures, hands-on practice, instructor demonstrations, and supervised assessment and treatment of real patients. The course focuses particularly on stroke and upper motor neuron lesions.

What you will learn

• Assess movement, postural control, and functional limitations using clinical observation and outcome measures.
• Develop patient-centred goals and treatment plans using the ICF framework.
• Apply practical strategies for bed mobility, transfers, balance, gait, and upper limb function.
• Use motor learning principles, facilitation, and task-specific practice in treatment.
• Review patient responses, refine clinical hypotheses, and explain your treatment decisions.
