          A FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON 3-D ANALYSIS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT


         Satellite event to the Fourtheen Congress
        of the International Society of Biomechanics


Under the patronage of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BIOMECHANICS


July 1st - 4th, 1993
Parc du Futuroscope
Poitiers, FRANCE


The International Symposium of 3-D Analysis of Human Movement will be a
scientific and technical forum for investigators of human motion,
whether their work is applied to the study of musculo-skeletal
disability or disease, sport and elite performance, or basic studies
of biomechanics.  By generating further communication and contact
between investigators in divers ares, this meeting encourages discussion
to cross the boundaries between scientific disciplines and specialities.
This Symposium will be directed at sharing information and results
relating to philosophies for solving problem on measurement and analysis,
rather than only delivering recent research and study findings.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

The conference is spanned over nearly three days.  There will be
five keynote speakers in addition to oral presentations to be paired
with discussion papers.  Additional papers will accepted in the form of
poster presentation.  A Round Table as well as a Hyde Park Speakers'
Corner are also planned.

1. Themes

   Data Capture:  New intrumentation and specific hardware, accuracy
   and precision of various reconstruction techniques, interpolation and
   calibration, lens distortion correction, etc.

   Joint Motion:  Location of markers, relation between external
   reference markers and joint movements, definition of local and global
   coordinate systems.

   Mechanical Models:  3-D kinematic and kinetic/dynamic joint models,
   finite element techniques, estimation of internal forces, model
   validation and sensitivity analysis.

   3-D Representation: Computer-aided-graphics techniques and animation.

   3-D Applications and Interpretation:  3-D variables used in the
   analysis of human movement and their relation to convential 2-D
   parameters.

2. Submission

   Those wishing to submit an abstract are asked to fill out the
   Request Form for an author's kit and fax, mail or E-mail it to the
   Permanent Secretariat.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

   As a complement to the scientific program, manufacturers of data
   capture systems will be given time during the meeting to inform
   the participants about their products.  There is a possibility for
   commercial exhibition if there is a marked interest from the
   manufacturers.  Those wishing to participate in the Technical
   Program are asked to fill out the Request Form and fax, mail or
   E-mail it to the Permanent Secretariat.

SOCIAL PROGRAM

   There is also a very attractive social program consisting of a
   welcoming reception on the evening prior to the meeting (July 1st)
   and a tour of the Cognac region to be followed by a gastronomic
   dinner in one of the neighboring castles.  Throughout the meeting,
   the participants will have access to the Parc du Futuroscope site
   featuring amazing cinematographic facilities including IMAX, OMNIMAX,
   double IMAX, dynamic, 360 degree and 3-D movie theaters to name but
   a few!

TRAVEL INFORMATION

   Poitiers, a town of 83 000 inhabitants, is about 430 km south-west of
   Paris.  It is a 90 minute non-stop ride on the TGV (Train a Grande

   there is a direct entry from Autoroute A10.  There is a number of hotels
   on site and a 100 room bloc has been set aside for the Symposium.
