This workshop aims to enhance patient outcomes from chemodenervation procedures by improving participants’ ability to recognize features that distinguish spasticity and dystonia, identify muscles that contribute to common clinical patterns, and accurately detect muscle targets. This program will enhance attendee’s confidence and procedural skills as they practice techniques, including how to use ultrasound guidance for chemodenervation injections.The Ultrasound Guidance Hands-on Training and The Kinesthetic Training Sessions will offer a unique opportunity for you to focus on functional skills that are applicable to real-world practice. These sessions will include hands-on ultrasound muscle identification exercises, injection practice with ultrasound phantoms, and injection training with anatomical models. TARGET AUDIENCEThis initiative is intended for physiatrists, movement disorder specialists, neurologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who provide care for patients with spasticity and movement disorders.AGENDA4:30 – 5:00 PM Registration and dinner5:00 – 5:10 PM Welcome and Introduction5:10 – 5:30 PM Dystonia and Spasticity: Essentials of Assessment for Neurologists5:30 – 5:50 PM Treatment Overview and Practical Application for Neurologists: Therapy, Oral, Phenol, and BoNT)5:50 – 6:10 PM Detailed Review of Ultrasound Guidance and Combined Ultrasound + EMG and/or E-Stim Guidance for Neurologists6:10 – 6:20 PM Upper Limb Ultrasound Demonstrations: Forearm and Hand6:20 – 7:00 PM Upper Limb Ultrasound Scanning: Practice Scanning on Colleagues7:00 – 7:15 PM Head/Neck Ultrasound Demonstrations: Anterior and Posterior Neck Muscles7:15 – 8:00 PM Head/Neck Ultrasound Scanning: Practice Scanning on Colleagues8:00 –8:50 PM Intensive, Kinesthetic Training Sessions (2 Groups Rotate – see A &amp; B below)A - Ultrasound Guidance - (US Phantoms)B - Models (ELVIS, ELVIRA &amp; Elise)8:50 – 9:00 PM Conclusion and Post-assessmentLEARNING OBJECTIVESUpon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:1. Identify clinical features and diagnostic assessment techniques to aid in differential diagnosis of cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity [MK, PC]2. Review indications and unique dosing requirements of the current botulinum neurotoxins for the treatment of cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity [MK]3. Demonstrate guidance techniques for the safe and effective injection of botulinum toxin in patients with cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity [MK, PC]4. Identify sonoacoustic anatomical features of cervical and limb muscles, nerves and other structures using ultrasound guidance to improve the safety accuracy of BoNT injection [MK]5. Develop individualized management plans for cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity, that appropriately incorporate chemodenervation [PC] This activity is jointly provided by AKH Inc., Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare and Catalyst Medical Education, LLC.This activity is supported by educational grants from AbbVie Inc., Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., and Merz.
