Brief Session Description : This session is designed to enhance the knowledge of healthcare professionals managing spasticity through interventional techniques. This presentation will highlight critical anatomical variations in the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spinal regions that can significantly impact the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of procedures such as nerve blocks, chemodenervation, and intrathecal therapies. By exploring bothcommon and rare deviations in musculoskeletal and neurovascular anatomy, attendees will gain practical insights to optimize procedural planning, avoid complications, and improve patient outcomes.
