European Society of Movement Analysis for Adults and Children ESMAC

The purpose of ESMAC

the European Society of Movement Analysis for 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. The Society holds an annual scientific meeting which is normally preceded by an instructional course for gait analysis.

Founding

There are several regional and international organisations within Europe who have a significant general interest in either biomechanics or clinical assessment of function. However there was no forum where biomechanical, clinical and other issues relating specifically to the study of human movement could be discussed in detail amongst all the interested professionals. ESMAC was formed to meet this need.The Society was founded in 1992 in Oswestry in the UK.
