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
2009 5
NDT …• Enhances function;
improving the individuals quality of life
• Treats individual as a Whole person
2009 7
NDT Intervention Process…
• Begins with a comprehensive assessment of the individuals– Abilities– Needs, Wants, …..
–Dreams!
2009 8
NDT Intervention Process…• Includes observation analysis and
identification of effective and ineffective postures and movements
2009 9
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
2009 10
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
2009 11
NDT is…
• A “Hands On” approach
• It includes the use of: – Inhibition techniques– Facilitation
techniques
2009 12
NDT is…
• Therapeutic handling is used to guide and shape movement, enhancing function
• Therapeutic handling is used interdentally
2009 14
NDT Therapist…
• Consider the multisystem effects of aging across the lifespan
• Strives to optimize function while acknowledging the existence of central nervous system damage
2009 16
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.
2009 18
Mrs. Bobath once said, it is a “living, breathing and changing” approach, and she challenged us all to grow and advance with the approach!

Hierarchical Model
Assumptions Underlying Motor Control for Neurologic Rehabilitation Chapter 4
2009 25
Program Model
• Peripheral and Central Mode of Operation
• Storage of Complex Motor Programs
• CPG
2009 26
Systems Models
• Function emerges from the interaction of multiple systems
• Coordinative Structures (Synergies)
• Degrees of Freedom
2009 28
Dynamical Systems Theory
• Self Organization
• Rate-limiting factor
• Transition States (Chaos)
2009 29
Neural Group Selection Theory
• Contemporary Theory
• Blends our knowledge of neuro embryology and development of neuro anatomy
• Plasticity
2009 30
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
2009 31
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
