Best practice in post-stroke spasticity (PSS): From early identification to treatment with botulinum toxin type A
Join Professor Wissel and Dr Winston to discuss best practice in diagnosing and managing PSS. Through interactive case technology, you can listen to the patient’s perspective, review the clinical and laboratory results and vote on the appropriate management plan. As the case progresses, the faculty will invite you to discuss the course of action and suggest new approaches that can be used in your clinical practice.

MERZ Sponsored Symposium
Optimizing the benefits of spasticity interventions with botulinum toxin a in post- stroke spasticity: a recipe book based on expert consensus
Why are we still trying to define optimal care in post-stroke spasticity?- Drawbacks of existing guidelines for informing best practice
- Structure and format of consensus group and level of expertise
- Aims of the group – key needs to be addressed
Speakers: J. Jacinto, G. Francisco, J. Wissel,
What does an “individualized approach” mean?- Setting treatment goals with patients
- Targeting multiple patterns of spasticity according to goals
- Changing goals over time
- Measuring effects
Speaker: F. Molteni
Perfecting the recipe for an optimal effect- Flexing the treatment approach in order to get improved results
- Flexing the total dose depending on number of patterns of spasticity to be targeted
- Flexing the dilution to optimize the effects
- Flexing the injection sites to optimise the effects
- Flexing the treatment interval depending on duration of response
Speaker: G. Bavikatte
Do we need something extra to spice up the recipe?- FES
- Casting
- Splinting/taping
- ESWT
Speaker: R.Reebye
