Dear Biomch-lers,
We would like to invite you to a unique course and conference designed to unite
biomechanists, clinicians and rehab therapists. This course and conference is
now in it's third year and has been very well received by both the scientific
and medical community (as can be seen by the outstanding list of presenters
VIEWED AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE). The course and conference are bilingual
(Italian and English) with all presentations and discussions being
simultaneously translated into either language. There will be free papers
accepted for all related topics and we encourage the biomechanics community to
have a strong showing with clinically relevant research. (deadline for
abstracts is Sept.30th, 1999)
The 1st Conference on Sports Bracing also provides a unique forum to present
work on brace research, application and design with an audience of
biomechanists, clinicians and leading scientists of the brace design community.
Below please find the preliminary schedule for the course and conference,
including workshops. For additional information or to sign-up online, please
visit our website at: www.edisons.it/homepages/letpeoplemove/
Thank You,
