HP 655 - Evidence-based Neurodevelopmental Treatment & Evaluation for Children with Central Nervous System Dysfunction

Institution:

Misericordia University

Subject:

Health Professions Health Care Informatics

Description:

This is a treatment course for children with neurological deficits (cerebral palsy) based on the work of Berta Bobath, MCSP, Karel Bobath, MD, Mary B. Quinton, MCSP, OBE and Elsbeth Köng, MD. Therapy skills to be developed and refined will include observation and analysis of typical and atypical child development, hands-on facilitation and stimulation of more effective movement, and inhibition of unwanted movement patterns. This will require the testing of three children at the beginning and end of an intervention period, using the Movement Assessment of Children. Other evaluation methods may also be used. The course will include distance learning, on-site sessions for learning and practice of treatment techniques, and a required commitment of a minimum of 12 hours of treatment for each of three children with neurological deficits.
