Movement Analysis 2004 From laboratory testing towards clinical application 27-28 February 2004 Hosted by the Department of Sport & Exercise Science, University of Auckland. Website: http://auckland-2004.movement-analysis.com/ Email: [log in to unmask] The Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Auckland is one of the leading research centres for human movement analysis in New Zealand. The goal of the research team is to advance knowledge in clinical areas and apply these scientific developments to the ‘real world’. To transfer successfully ideas from the lab to the clinic, extensive collaborations between health professionals and the research team are required. A successful collaboration depends not only on well designed research questions, but also on common goals and a firmly established administrative infrastructure. The purpose of this symposium is to highlight some successful transfers to clinical areas, and provide a forum for development of new collaborative ideas. The meeting will be held at the University of Auckland’s Tamaki Campus. Currently, Tamaki Campus is undergoing major developments to set up a modern postgraduate research oriented centre, which will integrate industrially supported development projects and high quality fundamental research.
