This course is advanced level course aimed at discussing more complex patients, following a systematic approach to the application of ultrasound imaging in the management of spasticity using botulinum toxin.
It is intended for clinicians and practitioners with some experience of ultrasound scanning who are seeking to consolidate and improve technique. The course has been independently assessed for CPD accreditation.
The format is a one-day practical focused face to face event with a high ratio of scanning stations to delegates giving ample opportunity for ultrasound practice. Following the event, there is an option to rent a system and practice a series of assignment exercises which have been specifically designed to develop technique, focusing on the identification of target muscles and safe, accurate and consistent injection under ultrasound guidance.
