Dear Biomechanists,
The very final deadline (January 15) for abstract submission for the XVth
Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB XV) is approaching.
A good number of papers have been received already. The reviewing of the
two-page abstracts will start on January 16th. In order to reach us before the
final date you should express-mail your letters NOW. A notification for
authors about acceptance or rejection will be given before March 15th.
Summary of the most important highlights of the XVth ISB congress follows:
1. Invited highlights:
Wartenweiler Memorial Lecture:
David A. Winter (Waterloo, Canada)
"Total Body Kinetics: Our Window into the Synergies of
Human Movement"
Muybridge Lecture:
Savio L-Y. Woo (Pittsburgh, USA)
"Ligament Biomechanics - Historical Prospectives and
New Frontiers"
Presidential Address:
