Research Symposium
March 10, 4:00pm – 6:00pm
“GCMAS Research Directives Planning Initiative”
Develop plans and strategies to permit research centers to collaborate and/or participate in research addressing the primary objectives identified by GCMAS members to advance the field of human movement analysis.

The primary research objectives to be discussed this year include:

• Gait/motion analysis has applications beyond gait in individuals with cerebral palsy.


• Gait/motion analysis is an accurate, precise, and valid method of quantifying movement.


• Gait/motion analysis is underutilized due to the lack of understanding by clinicians of its benefits and limitations.


• Develop plan/strategy/timeline/action items that will permit research in each of the above areas.
