The fellow will be trained to manage spasticity through various interventions including oral pharmacotherapy, chemodenervation with neurotoxins, phenol or alcohol nerve blocks, intrathecal Baclofen pumps, bracing, splinting, and therapeutic modalities. The fellow will be expected to participate in at least one scholarly activity during the year and will also participate in the education of PM&R residents on topics related to spasticity.
