On behalf of the Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society, we invite you to take part in the 2021 Annual Meeting to be held in West Chester, PA from June 8-11, 2021. With the great uncertainty surrounding travel at this time, we are currently planning a blended meeting with options to be both online and in person in West Chester, Pennsylvania during the week of June 8th, 2021. However, if events take a turn for the worse, we will move the entire meeting online.
The goal of our meeting is to disseminate current research and clinical applications of motion analysis topics including, but not limited to: cerebral palsy, orthotics and prosthetics, sports medicine, pediatric and adult orthopedic/musculoskeletal surgery, foot and ankle disorders, upper extremity applications and balance/posture. Our target audience includes orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, developmental pediatricians, physiatrists, podiatrists, residents, fellows, engineers, physical and occupational therapists, kinesiologists, biomechanists, and others who are interested in using movement science to improve lives.
The 2021 Meeting of the GCMAS is to be held at West Chester University, a mid-sized university with 16,000 students (graduate and undergraduate) located about 25 miles north-west of Philadelphia. West Chester has a vibrant downtown with dozens of restaurants with a variety of foods. Restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk of the dormitories and just outside of the Hotel Warner. Likewise, there are events happening year-round in the borough, which may be appealing to conference attendees.
Abstract Submission Opens October 1, 2020 and the submission deadline is January 8, 2021.
Abstracts will be accepted in the areas of:
If you wish to be an abstract reviewer, please use signup keycode: “GCMAS2021_Reviewer”.
Guidelines for ALL Abstract Submissions
Abstracts are limited to two (2) pages and must be formatted as follows: The content of each page must be contained within a 160 mm X 225 mm (6.3" x 8.8") area. Text should be formatted as Times New Roman 12-pt font.
Abstract reviews will not be blinded. Please submit only ONE abstract, a publication copy. The publication copy should include the title of the paper, the author(s), affiliation(s) and email address of the corresponding author. The name of the presenting author should be underlined. The presenting author listed on the abstract will be required to complete an online disclosure statement for CME/CEU accreditation. The link to this online disclosure will be sent out after abstract acceptance. See Specific Submission Instructions below for additional information.
Guidelines for Scientific Studies:
Abstracts describing original research should be comprised of the following sections: Introduction, Clinical Significance, Methods, Results, Discussion, References, Acknowledgements, and Disclosure Statement. One or two figures may be used, but please ensure that the figures are legible when reduced to half size.
Guidelines for New Tools and Techniques:
Abstracts describing methodological advances should be comprised of the following sections: Introduction, Clinical Significance, Methods, Demonstration, Summary, References, Acknowledgements, and Disclosure Statement. One or two figures may be used, but please ensure that the figures are legible when reduced to half size. Abstracts should describe novel methods (i.e. devices or algorithms) that enhance our ability to visualize, measure, or analyze the mechanics, tendons, joints, and/or limb segments. Abstracts from vendors are encouraged, but must not contain advertising.
Guidelines for Clinical Case Studies:
Abstracts describing clinical case studies should be comprised of the following sections: Subject History, Clinical Data, Motion Data, Treatment Decisions and Indications, Outcome (if available) Summary, and Disclosure Statement. One or two figures may be used, but please ensure that the figures are legible when reduced to half size. Abstracts should illustrate the value of motion analysis and/or modeling in the evaluation, understanding, and/or treatment of a movement disorder. Priority will be given to studies that include pre- and post-treatment data.
Guidelines for Tutorial and Symposia Submissions:
Proposals should include the following sections: title, instructor(s), purpose, intended audience, prerequisite knowledge, and outline of course content. Please prepare proposals with a 12-pt font and limit length to two pages.
At the time of submission, you will need to provide the name and contact information (including email address) of each speaker. Each speaker will be required to complete an online disclosure statement for CME/CEU accreditation. These disclosures will be coordinated through the Program Council after proposal acceptance.
Learning Objectives:
The submission form will require authors to submit a one-sentence learning objective. The learning objective should be of the form: At the completion of this presentation, attendees will be able to (recognize, measure, explain) …
