STEP 2: Spasticity Live Course - November 10-11, 2026, in Orlando, FL-Hands-On Station Overview

Hands-On Station Overview

Pdf Summary

The <strong>Interventional Spasticity Management Applications Course</strong> will take place November 10–11, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Orlando in Florida.

<h3>Hands-On Skills Training — Friday and Saturday Morning</h3>
Participants will work in groups of 3–4 and rotate through eight 60-minute stations covering:

- Intrathecal pump troubleshooting, including advanced programming, catheter priming, radiologic review, and emergency management
- Upper- and lower-limb muscle identification and simulated injections
- Pump refills, medication preparation, and basic programming
- Ultrasound-guided pump refills, catheter access port access, and lumbar puncture training
- Ultrasound-guided upper- and lower-limb muscle and nerve localization
- Upper- and lower-limb nerve localization using surface electrical stimulation

<h3>Focused Skills Training — Saturday Afternoon</h3>
Participants will rotate in groups of 5–6 through six stations focused on spasticity assessment and treatment techniques:

1. Spasticity examination and assessment
2. Upper-limb chemodenervation
3. Upper-limb neurolytic techniques using ultrasound and stimulation
4. Lower-limb chemodenervation
5. Lower-limb neurolytic techniques, including nerve branches, clinical history, and billing
6. Cervical dystonia training

The afternoon content also addresses positioning patients with severe limb deformities, toxin dilution and injection techniques, motor-point versus nerve blocks, and the roles of plantar and toe flexors in gait improvement. Cervical dystonia training includes muscle identification, simulated injections, and ultrasound practice with live and synthetic models.
