Program Overview

The NeuroRehab Preceptor Program is a comprehensive CME mentoring initiative for practicing neurologists and physiatrists, as well as neurology and physiatry residents, on the management of spasticity and other conditions that result from motor activity dysfunction.

The goals of this program are to educate and enhance the skills of the target audience on disease identification and diagnosis and to provide an experiential forum in which physicians with extensive knowledge of spasticity and other muscle overactivity conditions can demonstrate patient examination and techniques for pharmacologic therapy administration in a clinical setting.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to

• Describe the pathophysiology of spasticity, muscle overactivity, and spastic paresis in upper motor neuron (UMN) syndrome
  
  
• Discuss the differential diagnosis of spasticity and muscle overactivity and their specific management interventions
  
  
• Identify patients with spasticity and muscle overactivity, and discuss approved and recognized therapeutic approaches
  
  
• Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic options
  
  
• Establish treatment goals for patients to relieve symptoms, ease personal care, reduce disfigurement, improve limb use and mobility, and enable activities of daily life
