Abstract

Nowadays, one of the choice techniques for the spasticity treatment is the ultrasound-guided infiltration of Botulinum Toxin, because it is safe and effective. In order to medical professionals can carry out this technique, they need training and education. One of the safest and most time-free ways to facilitate the acquisition of practical medical skills is through simulators. In this paper we present an innovative technological environment, which includes an ultrasound simulator for training in muscle exploration and infiltration. The simulation platform will guide health professionals, with great realism and high degree of interactivity, in the autonomous training of all the tasks involved in the spasticity treatment procedure by infiltration of Botulinum Toxin, without the need for a real patient or costly phantoms.
