Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Upper-Limb Spasticity and Cervical Dystonia: From Clinical Assessment to Ultrasound-Guided Injection

This workshop provides a practical overview of botulinum toxin treatment for upper-limb spasticity and cervical dystonia. Through focused lectures and hands-on ultrasound practice, participants will learn patient selection, goal setting, muscle selection, dose planning, injection strategies, and safe ultrasound-guided identification of target muscles.

◆ What participants will learn

• Apply the principles of patient selection, goal setting, dose planning, and injection guidance for botulinum toxin treatment.
• Assess post-stroke upper-limb spasticity patterns and select appropriate target muscles.
• Select target muscles and develop individualized injection strategies for cervical dystonia.
• Use ultrasound to identify upper-limb and cervical muscles and plan safe, precise injections.

◆ Take-home value

Participants will leave with a practical framework for individualized botulinum toxin treatment, greater confidence in ultrasound-guided identification of upper-limb and cervical target muscles, and a practical injection guidebook for future clinical reference.

◆ Target audience

Physiatrists, rehabilitation trainees, physical and occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals involved in spasticity or dystonia management who wish to strengthen their knowledge of botulinum toxin treatment and ultrasound-guided muscle identification.
