Spasticity in practice: assessment, decision-making and management
Webinar overview:
This 75-minute webinar from the Spasticity Academy explores practical approaches to the assessment and management of spasticity. Through case-based discussion, we will examine different clinical presentations—focal, multifocal, and global—and how these influence decision-making and treatment selection.
With a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary working, the session will also highlight how allied health professionals play a key role in monitoring treatment response, especially with anti-spasticity medications. Attendees will gain tools and insights to enhance confidence in everyday clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Recognise and differentiate between focal, multifocal and global spasticity in clinical assessment.
- Apply structured frameworks for decision-making and outcome evaluation using real-world examples.
- Identify opportunities for AHPs to support medication monitoring and optimise spasticity management within the MDT.
