The symposium will highlight strategies to assess and manage spasticity and to enhance movement, function and quality of life in children and adults dealing with the consequences of spasticity and neuromotor disorders. The topics will cover management options (neurorehabilitation, medical and surgical treatments, complementary and alternative therapies) to be utilized across neurological conditions throughout the lifespan. A combination of didactic presentations, case discussions, and breakout sessions will be used to illustrate the complexity of decision making and outcome measurement. The hands-on workshops will provide education on practical applications. Interaction between the audience and faculty will be encouraged throughout the symposium. An emphasis will be placed on information that can be applied in clinical practice, including recent advances.
