    What is ESMAC: The purpose of ESMAC (the European Society of Movement Analysis
    for Adults and Children) is to stimulate and advance scientific knowledge,
    professional interaction and the exchange of ideas among Society members
    relating to movement analysis in adults and children in clinical and research
    settings. The Society is affiliated with Gait and Posture. Members of the
    Society can receive a subscription to the journal at the reduced rate as part
    of their annual membership of the Society.

    History of the Conference: Thus far 15 Conferences have been held by the
    society. The latest was the very successful 1st Joint ESMAC & Gait and
    Clinical Movement Analysis Society (GCMAS) Meeting (JEGM06) SEPTEMBER 28-30,
    2006 Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.jegm06.org.

    GAIT COURSES: Building on a tradition of well structured annual gait courses,
    this year's courses offer a unique opportunity by combining expertise in the
    field of clinical gait analysis. The faculty will consist of representatives
    of expert centres in the field of clinical movement analysis.

    The GAIT COURSE will introduce the concepts of clinical gait analysis to
    non-experienced personnel. Concepts covered will include measurement and
    processing techniques, as well as data interpretation and clinical decision
    making. Clinical case studies will provide an essential part of the teaching
    program.

    The CONTINUING EDUCATION IN DATA INTERPRETATION will expand on the Gait Course
    and is open to those with more experience. It will aim to provide a wider
    perspective on measurement and processing techniques, as well as data
    interpretation and clinical decision making. Extensive use of clinical case
    studies and round table discussions will be central to this course.

    Movement Analysis is an interdisciplinary area that attracts people from
    various scientific backgrounds.

    Who should attend?

    . orthopaedic surgeons
    . neurologists
    . pediatricians and
    . rehabilitation physicians
    . biomechanists
    . human movement scientists
    . biomechanical engineers
    . kinesiologists
    . physical and occupational therapists

    Students are encouraged by special low-rated student-fees

    So please update your agenda!

    We look forward to welcome you in Athens next year.
