Recognize the importance, benefits, challenges, and practical concerns regarding the interdisciplinary team approach for management of patients with spasticity, in order to develop individualized treatment plans
Interpret the clinical evidence, guidelines, and recommendations on the use of neurotoxins and adjunctive rehabilitation interventions (physical therapy [PT]/occupational therapy [OT]/speech-language pathology [SLP]), both alone and in combination, in order to establish appropriate treatment strategies for these patients
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
Apply optimal guidance and localization techniques, especially ultrasound technology, in order to improve efficacy in injecting BoNT for treatment of spasticity
Integrate home exercise programs into spasticity management post-BoNT, in order to optimize patient rehabilitation outcomes
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
Please review the case below and answer the questions that follow.
(Please be sure to complete this item before continuing with the survey)
60-year-old female who suffered a left brain stroke 4 years ago
Her exam is notable for the following:
Dense right hemiplegia and aphasia
Ashworth 3 tone in her right arm and leg
No active movement in the right arm and ankle
Decorticate posturing right arm
She ambulates with the assistance of a cane and right ankle foot orthosis, and she remains independent with respect to activities of daily living.
Please rank the importance of the following assessments in determining your treatment plan for this patient (Top=most important, Bottom=least important)
Range of motion assessment, both active and passive
Modified Ashworth Scale scores
Instrumented gait analysis
Patient’s stated symptoms and goals
Other
Please specify 'Other' above
If you decided to inject botulinum neurotoxin in this patient, which method(s) of guidance/localization would you likely use?
*
Manual anatomic mapping
Electromyography
Electrical stimulation
Ultrasound
Other
Please specify 'Other' above
*
Please describe when and how you might incorporate adjunctive therapies (OT, PT, SLP, etc), into the post-neurotoxin treatment plan for the management of this patient with spasticity.
*

Did you change your practice by implementing the workshop’s recommended management strategies, and if so, how quickly after?
*
Yes, within 11-14 days
Yes, within 15-31 days
No, not yet
Utilized more refined screening criteria to identify patients for neurotoxin treatment
Referred patients where appropriate for neurotoxin treatment
Recommended or prescribed PT/OT/SLP where indicated for patients receiving neurotoxin treatment
Used routine outcome measurements (eg, Modified Ashworth Scale) more often or more consistently
Established or strengthened case documentation shared by treatment team members
Formed or expanded a treatment team of interdisciplinary members for case management
Shared workshop course materials with clinicians who did not participate in this workshop
More often or more consistently discussed with patients the importance of home exercise therapy as an adjunct to their clinical care
I have implemented the following specific change in my practice.
Please describe at least one clinical outcome in a specific patient case that you achieved or improved based on the skills and knowledge you developed in this workshop (please include HIPAA-/patient confidentiality–compliant patient descriptions):
