Use of neurodevelopmental treatment as an intervention: annotated listing of studies 1980-1990.
This annotated bibliography presents a listing of research investigations on the effectiveness of neurodevelopmental treatment, an approach developed by the Bobaths in managing the neuromotor problems of infants, toddlers, children, and adults with neuromotor disorders. The annotated listing of 19 articles appearing in peer-reviewed journals between 1980 and 1990 is presented by category of experimental design (single-subject, quasi-experimental, and experimental). Each research article was reviewed for research question, conceptual framework, research design, findings, and limitations. The bibliography should be useful for educators, clinicians, and researchers in evaluating current research and in developing strategic plans for research. The implications for clinical practice and program development are discussed.
