Dear BIOMCH-L member:
During the 8th biennial Footwear Biomechanics Symposium to be held in Taipei Taiwan from the 27th through the 29th June 2007 at the National Yang University Taipei, we have arranged a special tutorial lectured by Prof. Ewald Hennig ( University Duisburg-Essen, Germany) and Prof. Julie Steele (University of Wollongong, Australia).
Title of Tutorial:
The Human Foot: From Early Child- to Adulthood
Topics:
1. Development of gait and changes in foot structure and limb alignment in toddlers and young school children: Differences between boys and girls (Ewald)
2. The effect of body weight and obesity in children on foot structure and function (Julie)
3. The adult foot: A gender comparison of foot anatomy (Julie) and foot function (Ewald)
4. The effect of obesity in women and men on:
a) Pressure distribution (Ewald, Julie)
b) Fat pad thickness (Ewald, Julie)
5. Perception of touch and vibration in the adult foot:
a) foot mapping of sensation across the plantar and dorsal surfaces of the foot; sex differences (Ewald)
b) in obese subjects and patient groups (Parkinson - Ewald)
c) in obese children (Julie)
We are honored and pleased to invite you to attend this special lecture and to meet specialists in knowledge exchange and friendship.
