CMAS AGM and scientific meeting 2005

The 4th annual meeting of the Clinical Movement Analysis Society (CMAS) took place in Oxford on 13th and 14th March in St Anne's college.

Registration with welcome drinks took place on Sunday evening followed by user groups meetings and product demonstrations from Coda, Vicon and Bodycare. This was followed by a very good buffet supper.

Monday saw the bulk of the meeting, starting with a session giving an overview of evidence, audit and outcome in gait. Prof. John O'Connor gave the keynote speech on the role of ligaments in gait. Mike Benson, President of the British Orthopaedic Association initiated and chaired an infomal talk on options of accreditation - a topic the standards working group are currently concerned with. Sue Hill the Chief Scientific Officer was unforntunately ill and unable to talk on the multi-disciplinary team in the NHS.

The CMAS AGM included an update on the progress of the working groups (see working groups web pages for more details). You can download the minutes of the meeting here.

The day was rounded off with a debate and case study on the role of botulinum toxin in managing cerebral palsy gait.
