EXPERT Ultrasound and Anatomy Upper Limb
Injection Course for Botulinum Toxin Treatment

Meeting rationale: The management of upper limb spasticity requires experience and skills in various practical aspects. To ensure goal-directed therapy, it is essential to provide a precise diagnosis and identify attainable goals. Correct diagnosis is crucial for targeting the appropriate muscles. For effective therapy, one must acquire knowledge about the safe usage and optimal treatment response with Botulinum toxin. To achieve this, it is essential to accurately localize and inject target structures.

The objective of this meeting is to promote the use of ultrasound as a guiding technique for injections. Ideally, the knowledge acquired will contribute to an enhan-cement in patient care.

Pre-course learning:

To improve participants learning experience a personalized access for a Micro learning App will be circulated. The App (Atrivity) should be used as preparation for the workshop. In a gamified way we would like you to prepare and compete together with the other participants as a start into this workshop. This will allow us to address your needs and your skill level during the training.
