The purpose of ESMAC (the European Society for Movement Analysis in Adults and Children) is to stimulate and advance scientific knowledge, professional interaction and the exchange of ideas among society members relating to movement analysis in adults and children in clinical and research settings. This year’s annual meeting will take place in Athens, Greece from 18th to 23rd of September. Four abstracts of members of our department got accepted for oral presentation at the scientific conference and will also be published in Gait & Posture. Furthermore, Ass-Prof Hans Kainz and his colleagues are going to hold a pre-conference seminar titled “Introduction to musculoskeletal modeling” together with Bryce Killen from KU Leuven.
Abstracts:
