STAFFORDSHIRE CONFERENCE ON CLINICAL BIOMECHANICS, April 25 – 26, 2008 - Stoke on Trent, UK

6th conference on clinical biomechanics will be hosted by Staffordshire University at the University Campus, Stoke on Trent. As in previous years, this conference, while providing a forum for information dissemination on clinical biomechanics, will facilitate discussion on research and case studies in the field of applied biomechanical principles to the treatment of patients and foot protection. This conference will focus on lower limb biomechanics with an emphasis on therapeutic and sports footwear. The meeting will also give opportunities to participate in workshops/ instructional lectures.

Our Keynote and Invited Speakers will include:

Dr Edward C Frederick, Ph.D. President, Exeter Research, Inc., and Adjunct Professor of Exercise Science, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA; Dr Denis Brunt, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA; Dr Anthony Redmond, Ph.D. Department of Musculoskeletal Disease, University of Leeds, UK; Mr Simon Bartold, University of South Australia and Mr AM Horwood, Staffordshire University.
