References

"This book is a comprehensive reference guide for residents and physicians who are looking for a resource for using surface anatomy to identify motor points for chemodenervation. It includes all of the commonly injected muscles for spasticity and dystonia, as well as the less common muscles (for example, the head and neck). It also provides additional tips for each muscle to facilitate successful injections. It includes different deformities and patterns of spasticity/dystonia, which other books generally do not include."
