MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT:
3rd Annual Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis (GCMA) Meeting
You are invited to participate in the 3rd Annual Gait and Clinical Movement
Analysis (GCMA) Meeting, hosted by the Motion Analysis Laboratory of
Children's Hospital, San Diego, and sponsored by the North American Society
of Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis (NASGCMA). The purpose of the
Society is to stimulate and advance scientific knowledge, professional
interaction, and the exchange of ideas among Society members, as related to
gait and human movement analysis in clinical and research settings. The
meeting will be held on April 15-18, 1998 at the Hyatt Islandia Hotel in
San Diego's Mission Bay area. Tutorials will be offered on Wednesday
afternoon, April 15th, and the scientific program will commence on the
morning of Thursday, April 16th. The last meeting session is currently
scheduled to conclude on Saturday, April 18th at 4:30pm.
This posting includes current information about the meeting program,
registration, hotel and travel accommodations, and other activities.
Additional details about the program schedule will be available in 1998,
and will be included in a future posting and in a registration packet to be
mailed. Additional details and a registration form for vendor exhibits
will be included in a separate mailing to vendors in December.
PROGRAM INFORMATION

Tutorial #1 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Practical Electromyography for Biomechanists and Movement Analysts
Instructors: Richard V. Baratta, Ph.D. and Moshe Solomonow, Ph.D.
Purpose and Course Content: This tutorial is designed to help the
biomechanist with little knowledge of signal processing to avoid pitfalls
commonly encountered with EMG and to report the use of EMG in ways
acceptable to peer reviewers experienced in EMG recording and processing.
The tutorial covers theoretical and practical aspects of EMG signal
acquisition, processing, interpretation, and reporting. It begins with a
brief introduction to the history of electromyography and basic muscle
physiology and continues with practical implementation. The course is
devoted to practical implementation and is subdivided into sections
including electrodes, amplifiers, filtering and recording, safety,
processing in the time and frequency domains, normalization,
interpretation, and common pitfalls.
Intended Audience: Biomechanists, gait and movement analysts or students
using or intending to use electromyography to study movement.
Prerequisite Knowledge: Basic muscle and movement physiology.
___________________________
Tutorial #2 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
A Primer for Understanding Joint Kinetics
Instructors: Thomas M. Kepple, M.A. and Nasreen Haideri, M.E.
Purpose and Course Content: The tutorial will provide an introduction to
the equations of motion and their traditional use in clinical biomechanics
to compute joint forces, moments and powers. The tutorial will discuss the
advantages and limitations of the traditional methods and introduce an
alternate (generalized) method that can directly couple the equations of
motion in order to determine the influence that the moment at one joint
will have on other anatomical segments. As an example, the generalized
equations of motion will be derived for a simple two-link planar model, and
will be used to illustrate the inherent relationships between joint
kinetics and kinematics. The clinical implications of the approach will
also be discussed.
Intended Audience: Clinicians responsible for interpreting motion analysis
data, and engineers interested in developing innovative methods for
analyzing human movement.
Prerequisite Knowledge: Familiarity with the use of joint forces, moments,
and powers in movement analysis; familiarity with the standard equations of
motion; basic algebra and trigonometry.
