The main goal of Toxin Academy is to provide support for learning how to use botulinum toxin injections in medical treatment of neurological disorders.
The experts in their area (Spasticity and Dystonia) will share their experiences:

• Injection Techniques (EMG, Electrical Stimulation, Ultrasound)
• Patient Assessment
• Indications

Course Objectives

• Review of normal human anatomy of neck, upper limb and lower limb muscles.
• Muscle structure/ nerve structure and relation between structure and muscle/ nerve function.
• Functional anatomy, normal and abnormal patterns in spasticity and in dystonia
• Relation between muscle structure/ nerve structure and optimal BTX injection sites
• Muscle/ nerve structure modifications in neurologic muscles and consequences.
• Ultrasonography of normal muscles/ nerves and pathologic muscles
• Identification of target muscles/ nerves with ultrasonography (neck, upper limb and lower limb muscles)
• Learning how to use and how to optimize ultrasound machine.
• Compare different injection techniques
