The management of upper limb spasticity requires experience and skills in a range of practical aspects. To ensure safe usage and optimal treatment response with botulinum toxin therapy, target structures must be correctly localized and identified for injection. The objective of this meeting is to gain in depth anatomical knowledge of the muscles involved in upper limb spasticity. Ideally, the acquired knowledge will lead to an improvement in patient care.
