Reading and Resources Required Reading: • Neuro-Developmental Treatment Approach Theoretical Foundations and Principles of Clinical Practice • Chapter 1 Assignment: • To be completed prior to lecture: Study Guide Learning Activity: Learning Activity 1.1.1(pp 1-2)
NDT is…. • A comprehensive approach for management of patients with neuromuscular based movement disorders. • Functional and task oriented • Problem solving • Grounded in current scientific theory
NDT … • Enhances function; improving the individuals quality of life • Treats individual as a Whole person
NDT … • Family centered • Team approach http://www.familyconnectionsc.org/gallery
NDT Intervention Process… • Begins with a comprehensive assessment of the individuals • Abilities • Needs, Wants, ….. • Dreams!
NDT Intervention Process… • Includes observation analysis and identification of effective and ineffective postures and movements
NDT Intervention Process… • Progressing to identification and prioritization of primary and secondary impairments critical for intervention • Continues with development of functional outcomes • Long term • Short term • Session
NDT Intervention Process… • Progresses to identification of treatment strategies to enhance function • Considers the task & environment in relationship to person • Concludes with implementation of the intervention & ongoing analysis
NDT is… • A “Hands On” approach • It includes the use of: • Inhibition techniques • Facilitation techniques
NDT is… • Therapeutic handling is used to guide and shape movement, enhancing function • Therapeutic handling is used interdentally
NDT Therapist… • Utilize typical development as a framework for treatment
NDT Therapist… • Consider the multisystem effects of aging across the lifespan • Strives to optimize function while acknowledging the existence of central nervous system damage
NDT Treatment Sessions should be… • Active • Dynamic • Fun • Functional
NDT is a Living Approach • The NDT approach has been enhanced by advances in neural science, movement science, motor learning and motor control. • The NDT Approach will continue to evolve as our knowledge and understanding of neuromuscular-based movement disorders and neuromotor control advances.
Mrs. Bobath once said, it is a “living, breathing and changing” approach, and she challenged us all to grow and advance with the approach!

Dynamical Systems Theory • Self Organization • Rate-limiting factor • Transition States (Chaos)
Neural Group Selection Theory • Contemporary Theory • Blends our knowledge of neuro embryology and development of neuro anatomy • Plasticity
Neural Group Selection Theory • Primary Neuronal Repertoires • Neonatal Optical Righting • Neonatal Kicking • Rooting • Secondary Repertories “Neural Groups” • Synergies and preferred patterns of movement • Neural Maps • Synergistic combinations activate for task performance
How Theories Work for NDT? • Philosophy of NDT embraces Function for enhancing Quality of Life • NDT always considers the environment and the task. • NDT is a clinical Approach
