We are offering the following tutorial sessions on Wednesday, March 18th, 2015. These sessions will provide insight into clinical and technical questions that are of particular interest to the society.
Why We Walk The Way We Do
(1:30-3:30 pm Wed March 18, 2015)
Richard Baker, Professor of Clinical Gait Analysis, University of Salford
Purpose: This tutorial aims to present an explanation of normal gait that is both biomechanically rigorous and clinically relevant. It challenges several assumptions encountered in the literature
Intended audience: Anyone interested in understanding normal walking.

Quantitative Clinical and Biomechanical Analysis of Upper Extremity Movement Dysfunction
(1:30-3:30 pm Wed March 18, 2015)
Aviva Wolff, OTR, CHT, EdD(c), Andreas Kontaxis, PhD
Leon Root, MD, Motion Analysis Laboratory, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY
Purpose: To introduce and describe clinical application of quantitative motion-capture techniques for movement dysfunction in the upper extremity.
Intended Audience: Clinicians (occupational therapists, physical therapists), engineers, biomechanists, and kinesiologists who treat, assess, and/or measure children and adults with upper extremity movement disorders. Prior experience analyzing and interpreting motion analysis data is beneficial, but not required.

I downloaded OpenSim – NOW WHAT?
(4:00-6:00 pm Wed March 18, 2015)
Allison Arnold, PhD
Concord Field Station, Harvard University
Apoorva Rajagopal, MS
Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory, Stanford University
Purpose:
OpenSim (http://opensim.stanford.edu/) is a freely-available software package for visualizing musculoskeletal structures and generating computer simulations of walking and other movements. This practical, hands-on tutorial will introduce participants to OpenSim’s features, file formats, and documentation using clinically-relevant examples.
Intended Audience:
The tutorial is designed for GCMAS attendees (scientists, clinicians, and students) who are curious about the capabilities of OpenSim, but who have not previously used the software.

Gait Analysis Data Interpretation: Understanding kinematic relationships within and across planes of motion
(4:00-6:00 pm Wed March 18, 2015)
Instructors: Sylvia Õunpuu, MSc and Kristan Pierz, MD
Purpose: The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the role of motion analysis in gaining understanding the relationship of joint and segment kinematics within and across planes of motion for a variety of gait pathologies.
Intended Audience: This course is for physicians, mid-level practitioners, physical therapists, orthotists, kinesiologists and engineers who are interested in a more detailed understanding of motion data interpretation by exploring the relationships between joint and segment kinematics both within and across multiple planes of motion.
