Dr Kim Jennings - Implementation of The Bobath Concept

Dr Kim Jennings is an Advanced Bobath tutor with over 35 years of clinical expertise. Kim became a Bobath Tutor in 2000 and an Advanced Tutor in 2012. She holds a clinical doctorate in physiotherapy at La Trobe University investigating barriers and facilitators to implementation of the Bobath concept and a Master of Public Health from Monash University. We get the lowdown about what sparked her interest in Bobath, what makes people choose to apply it or not apply it in practice, how the concept has changed over time, and where Bobath sits in evidence based practice. She also tells us all about a Clinical Doctorate and what her research found about factions in the neuro physio community.If you'd like to listen to more of an intro to The Bobath Concept check out Season 1, Episode 9 with Janet Stevens https://aneurophysio.com/janetstevens/https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/a-neuro-physio-podcast/id1493324068?i=10004849357243.00 Intro3.30 Bobath career pathway9.03 Working with culturally diverse populations11.19 IBITA – Tutors around the world14.30 Who are Bobath courses for?16.40 How Bobath has changed over time26.00 What is a clinical doctorate?29.50 Kim’s research - Implementation of the Bobath concept45.24 The lack of RCT evidence for Bobath53.50 Personalisation of rehab55.10 The need for more research  1:08.40 Episode reflectionLinksAustralian Bobath Training Association https://www.bobathaustralia.org/International Bobath Instructors Training Association https://ibita.org/British Bobath Tutors Association https://www.bbta.org.uk/The Bobath Concept has Changed - paper in Journal of PhysiotherapyLike our podcast and want to support us?Share the show with your friends & colleagues, give us a rating on your podcast platform or Buy us a coffee.
