 Editor’s note: This Special Section on Spasticity is a series of 5 clinical focused review articles that was developed from the “Advanced Assessment and Management Skills for Spasticity, Dystonia, and Related Motor Disorders” Pre-course at the 2008 AAPM&R Annual Assembly in San Diego, CA. These articles are not an exact representation of that course nor are they designed to represent comprehensive coverage of the field. However, these reviews do provide clinically pertinent and practical information that the clinician will hopefully be able to incorporate into his or her practice. The authors of these articles are expert practitioners who served on the faculty for this course. For further details, the course content can be accessed at http://me.e-aapmr.org/
