Welcome
The Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society (GCMAS) is a multi-disciplinary organization of physicians, allied health professionals, engineers, biomechanists and scientists working together to advance scientific knowledge, technical capabilities, and clinical practice in the field of human movement.
Mission
The mission of GCMAS is to improve functional outcomes and quality of life for individuals with any movement disorder at any age. We apply the latest technology and professional knowledge to measure, evaluate, and understand human movement, provide a forum for professional interaction and exchange of ideas, promote education, stimulate research, and disseminate current knowledge and best practices to enhance human movement and health.
GCMAS is pleased to provide this listing of US-based graduate programs in Bioengineering, Biophysics, Biotechnology, Exercise Science, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy. The list is sortable by School Name, State, or Program. External web links are provided to direct you to the main website of each college or university.
GCMAS is pleased to announce that the 2012 conference will be held from May 9-12, 2012 in Grand Rapids, MI. The conference will be held at the JW Marriott and hosted locally by Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital (www.maryfreebed.com).
Keynote Speakers: Nigel Paneth, M.D., M.P.H.

Travel Scholarships are available to student members of GCMAS who present their research at the annual meeting. This program is made possible through the generosity of the GCMAS membership and our sponsoring vendors. Applications will be reviewed by the GCMAS Education Committee, and recipients will be selected based on their demonstrated potential to advance scientific knowledge, technical capabilities, and/or clinical practice in the field of human movement. Approximately 10 awards will be awarded to full-time students who submit an abstract to attend the 2012 Meeting.
ESMAC 2012 in Stockholm, SwedenThe European Society of Movement Analysis in Adults and Children (ESMAC) enthusiastically invites you to participate in the 2012 ESMAC Meeting, to be held September 13-15, 2012 at the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden.
Abstracts and proposals for tutorials in all areas of human movement analysis are welcome, and will be selected for the 2012 scientific program via a competitive, peer-review process.
The 2012 Program Committee particularly encourages submissions related to the following topics:
- Outcome after clinical intervention and analysis of gait and motor disorders
- Assessment of functional outcome and functions of muscles and joints
- Musculoskeletal imaging methods and mathematical simulation of human movement
- New tools and technologies for measurement and/or analysis
Abstract and tutorial submissions must be received by April 15, 2012. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 30, 2012.
