  • International Ankle Symposium IV – InitialAnnouncement & Call for Abstracts

    We are pleased to announce that the website for the Fourth International
    Ankle Symposium is now available. Please access the site via the link
    below.

    http://www.fhs.usyd.edu.au/IAS4/

    The conference will take place at the University of Sydney, Australia, on
    July 16-18, 2009. The theme is "New Dimensions on Old Problems" and the
    conference will examine ankle instability and other related ankle
    pathologies from a multidisciplinary perspective. We anticipate that this
    conference will be beneficial and informative for clinicians and scholars
    from many disciplines, including orthopedics, physiotherapy, podiatry,
    biomechanics, emergency medicine, sports medicine, athletic training, gait
    analysis, and kinesiotherapy.

    CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
    We are delighted to issue our first call for submission of abstracts for
    this conference.

    Emphasis will be on oral and poster presentations of original research, case
    studies and clinical commentaries along with selected plenary presentations.
    All abstracts will be peer-reviewed. Abstracts selected for oral (platform)
    presentation will be 10 minutes, with five-minutes for questions. Some
    abstracts will be presented in poster form with a dedicated time for a brief
    presentation, and will be displayed throughout the duration of the
    conference.

    DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS FEBRUARY 14, 2009

    Authors will be notified electronically of an acceptance decision by March
    25, 2009.

    Submission of work is solicited in three formats:

    Authors are required to submit a 300 word abstract which will appear in the
    conference proceedings as well as a special issue of the Journal of
    Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy.

    a. Research reports require a structured abstract containing a maximum of
    300 words, divided into 6 sections with the following headings (in this
    order): Study Design, Objectives, Background, Methods and Measures, Results,
    Conclusion.

    b. The abstract for case studies should have 5 sections with the following
    headings: Study Design, Background, Case Description, Outcomes and
    Discussion.

    c. Clinical commentaries require an abstract that is not structured.

    Further details on abstract submission are available on the conference
    website.

    We look forward to seeing everyone in Sydney in July 2009.

    Yours professionally,
