Abstract:
The most frequent pattern of spasticity in the lower limb is equinovarus foot. Patients with central nervous system injury and severe spasticity, conservative treatment and botulinum toxin type A often have a limited effect. In these cases, nerve blocks can be very useful in deciding our therapeutic action. We present a clinical case as an example of a new ultrasound-guided approach to tibial nerve block, as this is the main nerve involved in equinovarus foot pattern, specific for spastic patients and its usefulness for the clinical management of spasticity.
