In this valuable half-day precourse, you'll learn how to enhance and assess your clinical skills in managing patients with spasticity and related conditions. Attendees will rotate through several stations in a small group setting, be presented with cases, develop a treatment plan, and learn/demonstrate hands-on skills that are relevant to that case scenario. At the end of this course, you'll walk away with new skills in focal chemodenervation (botulinum toxin, nerve, and motor point blocks) and intrathecal baclofen delivery, including electrical stimulation, EMG and ultrasound guidance.
