Brief introduction to NDT
By Kinjal Shah (intern from SGMPC)

AIM OF TREATMENT
• Aim of the treatment for cerebral palsy/with disabilities due to brain damage is to prepare and guide them towards their greatest possible independence and to prepare them for as a a normal adolescences and adult lives as can be achieved by Bobath in 1984.
![Page 3: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The concept of neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) has been evolved empirically by Mrs. Bertha Bobath from 1942 onwards.
• By careful clinical observation of adult hemiplegia and of children with cerebral palsy, she studied their reactions to being handled.
• Dr.Karel Bobath, her husband & a neurologist, tried to find the theoretical explanations. By Kong 1991.
![Page 4: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• NDT is a holistic approach dealing with the quality of patterns of coordination & not only the problems of individual muscle function.
• It involves the whole person, not only sensory-motor problems but also problems of development ,perceptual-cognitive impairment, emotional, social & functional problems of daily living (Bobath 1990).

A Brain lesion interferes with the development of normal postural
control in relation to gravity.
1. Instead of normal postural tone, we find abnormal tone: too high (spsticity), too low (hypotonicity) or fluctuating (athetosis).
2. Instead of normal reciprocal interaction, we find excessive co-ordination, or sudden inhibition of antagonists resulting in the lack of ability to make a graduated movement.
![Page 6: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3. Instead of normal automatic movement patterns of righting, equilibrium,& protective reactions, we find a few static and stereotyped postural patterns of tonic reflexes.

• The abnormal sensory-motor development interferes with child’s whole development i.e. sensory, perceptual, cognitive, psychological.
• Associated sensory &/or perceptual deficits can be primary due to brain lesion but frequently they are secondary to the physical disability, which prevents child
![Page 8: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Associated sensory &/or perceptual deficits can be primary due to brain lesion but frequently they are secondary to the physical disability, which prevents child
from exploring himself the environment.
• He does not develop the same concept of his body. as does a normal child.
![Page 9: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Abnormal sensorymotor experiences will result in an abnormal body awareness & abnormal body image (Bobath 1984; Kong 1986; Quinton 1986).
![Page 10: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• It is impossible to superimposed normal movement patterns on abnormal ones, the abnormal patterns need to be suppressed (inhibited).
• The importance of sensory motor experience- we do not learn a movement but a “sensation of movement”.
![Page 11: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• By moving the proximal part of body it is possible to influence and to change the movement s of distal parts (Bobath 1942).
![Page 12: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Parents participation is important
• Guiding & training the parents in home management is of the greatest importance.( finnie 1986, bobath 1997).
![Page 13: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Inhibition combined with stimulation & facilitation
• After preparing & obtaining a more normal postural tone the patient needs to learn move in many different combinations of more normal movement patterns.
• Mrs. Bobath looked for possibilities of a how to transmit to the patient in order to enable them to experience normal sensation of functional movements they had either lost or never developed.
![Page 15: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Only by feeling a near normal movements with minimal effort can the patient learn how to perform it.
• The therapist’s task is to make this possible.
• Bobath recognized that during normal development, in the beginning there is influence of tonic reflexes which later disappear & are supported by the development of righting reactions.
![Page 16: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• These are later overlapped & integrated into balance reactions & voluntary movements (Kong 1991).
![Page 17: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reflex inhibitory control
• Inhibition is the process of intervention that reduces dysfuntinal muscle tone. It breaks up the abnormal excessive flexion or extension(Bobath 1984; Quinton 1986;Boehme 1988).
![Page 18: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Lower extremity dissociation, including increased range of motion at the hips & knees.
• Marked dissociation of LE dissociation prevents the pelvis from moving on saggital plane thus preventing it from moving into an anterior or posterior pelvic tilt. Therfore movements around the pelvis & LS occur on the frontal & transverse plane.
![Page 41: neurodevelopment technique](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051312/54677b7fb4af9f7f798b497b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Marked dissociation of LE dissociation prevents the pelvis from moving on saggital plane thus preventing it from moving into an anterior or posterior pelvic tilt. Therefore movements around the pelvis & LS occur on the frontal & transverse plane.
