    Live Workshop Series Learning Objectives

    Track 1:MD/DO/NP/PA

    • Describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity
    • Review the mechanism of action, indications, and clinical application of botulinum neurotoxin therapy in patients with cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity
    • Identify the indications and unique dosing requirements of the current botulinum neurotoxins for the treatment of cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity
    • Demonstrate guidance techniques for the safe and effective injection of botulinum toxin in patients with cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity
    • Identify sonoacoustic anatomical features of cervical and limb muscles, nerves and other structures using ultrasound guidance to improve the safety accuracy of BoNT injection
    • Develop strategies for individualizing therapy and assisting patients with cervical dystonia, limb dystonias, and spasticity in achieving their functional goals

    Track 2: PT/OT

    • Recognize common patterns of muscle overactivity (MoA) that occur in UMNS and dystonia patients
    • Identify when patients with MoA should be referred for treatment (problematic MoA)
    • Recognize the importance of patient evaluation, collaborative care and setting patient specific goals on treatment outcomes
    • Demonstrate appropriate manual therapy, splinting, and casting techniques to maximize functional outcomes in the post chemodenervation setting
    • Integrate strategies to individualize functional goals considering varying types of patient scenarios
    • Review the potential utility of ultrasound in management of upper and lower limb dystonias
