- Assess neuromuscular pathology and individual patient functional goals, in order to identify appropriate muscles, determine dosing, maximize therapeutic benefit, and minimize complications
- Evaluate methods of guidance and localization (ie, EMG, e-stim, ultrasound), in order to incorporate best practices for proper placement of neurotoxin
- Facilitate interaction and improve communication among members of the interdisciplinary treatment team, in order to encourage appropriate referrals for both neurotoxin injection and adjunctive therapy that may optimize patient outcomes
