The Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society is devoted to the quantitative analysis of gait and other human movement, with particular emphasis on analyses with clinical applications. 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 European Society for Movement Analysis in Adults and Children was founded in 1992 in Oswestry in the UK. Its purpose 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. The Society holds an annual scientific meeting which is normally preceded by an instructional course for gait analysis.
The mission of the Society is to foster the study and the clinical application of movement analysis methods, in order to improve the functional evaluation of motor disorders, to enhance the efficacy of the treatments through a quantitative analysis of data and a more focussed treatment planning, to quantify the results of current therapies. Medical and engineering components are integrated in the SIAMOC, and both contribute at creating a stimulating scientific environment, collaboration among groups, professional competancies.
The International Society for Posture and Gait Research (ISPGR), formerly called the International Society of Posturography, is a dynamic research society that provides a forum for scientists and clinicians who are interested in all aspects of the control of posture, balance and gait. ISPGR members have diverse backgrounds and come from all parts of the world. They include basic and applied researchers, physiotherapists, doctors, and students. Since 1971 the society has held regular meetings, which aims:
To present and discuss the latest research and clinical findings relating to the control of posture and gait and related disorders.
To facilitate interaction between members who meet from all corners of the globe.
To promote the broad discipline of of posture and gait research.
ABOUT GAIT & POSTURE
Gait & Posture is a vehicle for the publication of up-to-date basic and clinical research on all aspects of locomotion and balance.
The topics covered include: Techniques for the measurement of gait and posture, and the standardization of results presentation; Studies of normal and pathological gait; Treatment of gait and postural abnormalities; Biomechanical and theoretical approaches to gait and posture; Mathematical models of joint and muscle mechanics; Neurological and musculoskeletal function in gait and posture; The evolution of upright posture and bipedal locomotion; Adaptations of carrying loads, walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs etc; The effect of aging and development on gait and posture; Psychological and cultural aspects of gait; Patient education.
