Introduction

We are in the process of developing a structured training programme for clinical biomechanics, orthoses, gait analysis and rehabilitation. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of current techniques, diagnosis and management strategies that can be used in the clinical environment.

Courses will be structured to have an educational component in the morning followed by the practical application in the afternoon. As a result, numbers would be limited to facilitate the practical sessions.

This survey is designed to gauge the potential demand and content and we would be most grateful if you could complete this short survey.

Many thanks
