Course Description
Despite increasingly widespread use of botulinum toxin (BoNT) for neurological rehabilitation and other disorders, there is rarely a recognized or regularly available training scheme on this topic in the Asian and Oceanian region. This two day workshop is intended to address this practice gap through didactic lectures from international experts, interactive case discussions, and a patient practicum.

- Explain how BoNT works in relation to movement disorders.

- Describe a treatment plan that incorporates medical-surgical therapies and chemodenervation for various movement disorders, including advantages of a multi-disciplinary team.
