title: The efficacy of Bobath neurodevelopmental interventions at home for patients after postcerebrovascular accidents.
abstract: The traditional approach to rehabilitating patients after cerebrovascular accidents encourages the patient to use only the unaffected side for all activities. This article presents the Bobath approach, which focuses on patients using both sides to regain former capabilities. The rationale and implementation of this method are outlined so that the home care nurse can learn how to use this method, used so commonly by rehabilitative therapists.
