Managing moderate to severe upper limb spasticity, stiffness and contracture after brain injury is a clinical challenge whether you work in acute, post-acute or community rehab.

Inhibitive and serial casting are recommended for managing these secondary complications, however many occupational therapists remain under-confident in their use.

This IN-PERSON WORKSHOP offers the opportunity to explore the theory, research evidence and practical aspects of this essential rehab skill.

Come along to get answers to all your questions, like:

• Is it safe to leave a cast on for a week?
• What are the contraindications?
• Should I position the joint(s) in maximum extension?
• Can I include more than one joint at a time?
• How long should I cast for (how do I know when to stop)?
• Should I always cast after Botulinum toxin injections?
• How young is too young (and how old is too old) to cast?
• What’s the evidence for and against using casting for upper limb hypertonicity??
