Botulinum Therapist's Desk Atlas. Ultrasound Guidance for Botulinum Toxin Injections
69.99 €
You are holding in your hands a publication dedicated to the basics of spasticity treatment with ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections.
Today, botulinum therapy is used in probably all areas of clinical medicine, and interest in it is constantly growing. In the treatment of many neurological diseases, as well as in the rehabilitation of patients after stroke or trauma, intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin has the highest level of evidence (A) for reducing muscle tone and improving passive function of the upper limb.
The problem of spasticity has recently become more and more urgent. Every year in Russia about 400 thousand people suffer a stroke, more than 180 thousand people get severe craniocerebral traumas, as a result of which motor deficit and increased muscle tone are formed, which lead to disability, social disadaptation of patients and other serious consequences.
Rehabilitation of patients often becomes impossible precisely because muscle hyperactivity (spasticity) interferes with functional recovery, causes pain, is the cause of deformities of the affected limbs and many other problems. Botulinum toxin injections are the first-line therapy, particularly in the correction of focal spasticity of the upper limb in patients after stroke or brain injury.
