Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Lower-Limb Spasticity: From Gait Analysis to Ultrasound-Guided Injection

(Pre-Conference Workshop)

Ta-Sen Wei Moderator Changhua Christian HospitalChief, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Research Center

This hands-on workshop integrates gait analysis with ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injection for lower-limb spasticity in adult stroke and pediatric patients. Featuring international experts, the session combines clinical lectures with interactive stations covering spasticity pattern identification, injection strategies and planning, and target muscle identification under real-time ultrasound imaging.

◆ What participants will learn

Interpret gait analysis and lower-limb spasticity patterns in adult and pediatric patients.
Select appropriate target muscles and dosing strategies for lower-limb spasticity.
Apply ultrasound techniques to localize target muscles and optimize injection precision.

◆ Take-home value

Attendees will gain practical skills in ultrasound-guided lower-limb injections and individualized treatment planning. They will return to clinical practice with greater confidence in treating adult and pediatric spasticity, supported by a practical injection guidebook for continued reference, enhancing treatment precision, safety, and functional outcomes.

◆ Target audience

Physiatrists who are interested in management of lower-limb spasticity. It is suitable for both clinicians seeking to refine ultrasound-guided injection skills and trainees building foundational expertise in lower-limb spasticity interventions.

◆ Registration Fee: NT$2,500 (equivalent USD 77) /pax

◆ The Organizers reserve the right to cancel the workshop due to insufficient registration.
