The utilization of ultrasound (US) in the field of PM&R has garnered significant recognition, particularly in musculoskeletal medicine, spasticity management & nerve disorders.  This course will delve into oromandibular dystonia, drooling, and brachial plexitis from trauma and neurological disorders. Partctipants will receive a comprehensive review of ultrasonoanatomy of facial & neck muscles and brachial plexus, enhancing proficiency in utilizing US for improving patient care.

Learning Objectives:

• Expanding Role of Ultrasound: Discuss the broadening scope of ultrasound in neurological rehabilitation, beyond traditional MSK applications.
• Master Ultrasound Techniques: Demonstrate how to apply ultrasound for diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the head and neck region, particularly in patients with neurological impairments.
• Interpret Ultrasound and Electrodiagnostic Findings: Differentiate between normal and pathological findings in the brachial plexus and associated structures using ultrasound, and describe how these findings integrate with EMG and NCV results.
