Conference DESCRIPTION:This conference will take place at the University of British Co lumbia\, UBC Brain Health Center on November 11th 2023.\n\n\n\nWe are invit ing 8 Canadian and 8 International faculty members to present\, and we anti cipate 50 Canadian colleagues  (physicians and allied health (physiotherap ist\, nurses\, orthotists\, occupational therapist\, researches\, medical s tudents) who work in spasticity clinics to attend this hybrid conference.\n \n\n\nWe will have minimum of 250 participants joining on an online CANOSC webinar platform\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverall Learning Objectives\n\n\n\nThes e objectives will help maximize the value and application of the knowledge and skills gained during the event:\n\n\n\n\nGain a comprehensive understan ding of the challenges and opportunities in the field of spasticity and reh abilitation.\n\n\n\nEngage in at least three interactive sessions focused o n the challenges and opportunities related to spasticity and rehabilitation \, and actively participate by asking questions and contributing to discuss ions.\n\n\n\nIdentify key nerves and muscles in spasticity management\, and actively participate in practical exercises and demonstrations.\n\n\n\nAcq uire up-to-date knowledge and practical skills that can be directly applied to enhance spasticity and rehabilitation practices in clinical settings.\n \n\n\n\nMeeting format\n\n\n\nThis hybrid meeting approach leverages both i n-person and virtual participation\, allowing for a wider reach and engagem ent with the educational content.\n\n\n\n\nFaculty will be physically prese nt while participants will join in person and virtually through Zoom.\n\n\n \n26 faculty will be responsible for delivering the educational content.Spe akers will be designated for each theme.\n\nAfter a short formal presentati on by speakers\, co-chairs will encourage discussion and exchanges between all faculty members and the audience on the theme.  \n\n\n\n\n\nOpen Acces s:  Education is not restricted by financial barriers.\n\n\n\n\nSessions\n \n\n\nThis one-day conference will have 26 invited colleagues who are world experts in spasticity management deliver lectures on 3 key main themes:\n\ n\n\n\n\nMuscle architectural changes post spasticity and effects of botuli num toxin on muscle architecture\, and utilization of ultrasound to monitor muscle changes and to optimize spasticity treatment.\nPresenters:\n\nCanad a: Rajiv Reebye\, Dr. Ève Boissonnault\,\nBelgium: Dr. Fabienne Schillebee ckx\,\nSwitzerland: Dr. Stefano Carda.\n\nAt the end of this session\, part icipants will be able to:\n\nDescribe muscle architectural changes and unde rstand its complexity in the spastic muscle\nAffect clinical decision makin g when monitoring muscle architectural changes post spasticity\nDevelop str ategies to monitor changes in muscle echointensity using ultrasound imaging \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUse of diagnostic nerve blocks to help better assess spastici ty to optimize multimodal spasticity management: opportunities\, barriers a nd solutions of setting up a nerve block clinic in a busy clinical setting. \nPresenters:\n\nCanada: Paul Winston\,\nFrance: Dr. Romain David\,\nItaly: Dr. Alessandro Picelli\, Dr. Mirko Filippetti.\n\nAt the end of this sessi on participants will be able to:\n\nUnderstand the utility of nerve blocks in determining whether a muscle may be spastic vs fixed contracture\nThe ch allenges in setting up nerve block clinic in a busy spasticity setting\nOpp ortunities and solutions in implementing nerve blocks and triage patients w ho require nerve blocks to help optimize multimodal spasticity management\n \n\n\n\n\n\nEnhancing collaborative care and how to optimize spasticity cli nic efficiency: lessons learnt from our Canadian and World spasticity exper ts.\nPresenters:\n\nCanada: Dr. Rajiv Reebye\, Dr. Paul Winston\, Dr. Ève Boissonnault\, Dr. Jehane Dagher\, Dr. Heather Finlayson\, Dr. Chloe Haldan e\, Dr. Tom Miller\, Dr. Alto Lo\,\nBelgium: Dr. Fabienne Schillebeeckx\,\n Cameroon: Dr. Michael Temgoua\,\nFrance: Dr. Romain David\, Dr. Camille Hes lot\,\nItaly: Dr. Alessandro Picelli\, Dr. Mirko

Alrahoomi\,\nUnited Kingdom: Dr. Anton Pick.\n\nAt the en d of this session participants will be able to:\n\nPropose a common vision of spasticity pathophysiology to facilitate international exchange\nPresent an example of a successful collaborative approach for spasticity managemen t\nDiscuss similarities\, differences between spasticity clinics in Canada and internationally\nImplement collaborative care in spasticity management\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOptimize strategies to enhance collaboration and clinical fl ow in their busy spasticity clinic\n\n\n\n\nSponsor this Event!\n\nBy spons
