Learning Objectives At the end of this session, participants will be able to identify spastic muscles via ultrasound examination and use the modified Heckmatt scale in the process. Furthermore they will be able to identify the nerve in the spastic muscle and acquire strategies to enhance ergonomics to help enhance visualization of the spastic muscle. CanMEDS roles Collaborator,
