Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you to try to disseminate information regarding a
conference that we are holding in Dublin, Ireland, in 2006. The
conference is on the subject of Chronic Ankle Instability and will
incorporate presentations of new research in this area as well as
keynote lectures and practical workshops for clinicians. The
organising committee are all members of the Irish Chartered Society of
Physiotherapists and the conference is not being run on a commercial
basis. With this in mind I hope that you will help us with
distribution of information regarding the conference to your members.
If possible, could you include information on the conference, the call
for abstracts or the conference website (all detailed below) in your
society newsletters or publications? Alternatively, I would be grateful
for contact details for the members of your organisation who are
responsible for newsletters or circulation of information via
email/internet.
Thank you for your time and apologies for the unsolicited email.
Regards
Brian Caulfield Phd

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
3rd International Ankle Symposium - Ankle Sprains, Instability and
Rehabilitation
September 1-3 2006
UCD Dublin, Ireland
http://www.ucd.ie/anklesym/index.html (javascript:ol('http://www.ucd.ie/anklesym/index.html');)
We are delighted to announce the 3rd International Ankle Symposium and
to issue our first call for submission of abstracts for this
conference.
The theme of the 3rd International Ankle Symposium is ankle sprains,
instability and rehabilitation, an issue that has a significant impact
on the health-care community both in terms of time loss from activity
(work, competition, recreation, etc.), long term consequences such as
osteoarthritis, and money spent on treatment and care. The complex
nature of ankle instability continues to intrigue, and has recently
witnessed an increase in interest among research scientists and
clinicians with important new developments in research and
rehabilitation. The 2006 meeting will examine ankle instability and
other related ankle pathologies from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Attendees will include clinicians and scholars from the disciplines of
physiotherapy, orthopedics, podiatry, athletic training, sports science
and biomechanics, to name a few. The symposium will include a range of
keynote lectures, clinical assessment and treatment techniques
workshops, platform presentations of new research, and poster sessions.
We anticipate that this conference will be beneficial and informative
for clinicians and scholars from many disciplines, including
physiotherapy, orthopedics, emergency medicine, sports medicine,
podiatry, athletic training, gait analysis, nursing, physiatry,
kinesiotherapy, and biomechanics.
Keynote Speakers at the conference will include the following:
Dr Jay Hertel, Kinesiology Program, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville VA, US. 'Overview of Etiology of Chronic Ankle
Instability'
Dr Beat Hinterman, Department of Orthopaedics, Faculty of Medicine,
University of Basel, Switzerland. 'Advances in Surgical Techniques for
Chronic Ankle Instability'
Dr Lars Konradsen, Department of Orthopaedics, Gentofte Hospital,
University of Copenhagen, Denmark. 'The Role of Proprioceptive
Deficits in the Development of Chronic Ankle Instability'
Dr Tom Kaminski, Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences,
University of Delaware, Newark DE, USA. 'The Relationship between
Muscle Strength Deficits and Chronic Ankle Instability'
Dr Riann Palmieri, Athletic Training, Movement Science, & Orthopaedics,
Division of Kinesiology, University of Michigan , Ann Arbor MI ,
USA. ‘The Role of Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition in the Development of
Chronic Ankle Instability’
Prof Scott Lephart, Department of Sports Medicine and Nutrition, School
of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Pittsburgh PA,
USA.. ‘Strategies for re-training the unstable ankle’
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES.
The objectives of the 3rd International Ankle Symposium are to
• Provide a scholarly forum for the dissemination of research on
ankle instability from an international group of experts in the field.
• Present a new consensus statement for the criteria used in the
classification of "functional" ankle instability and give guidelines
for conduct of future research in this area
• Develop collaborative partnerships for multi-center research
projects and extramural funding.
• Explore ankle instability prevention initiatives as a means of
curbing the long-term disability associated with this injury and make
recommendations to the health-care community regarding their role(s) in
the initiative.
• Provide a forum for dissemination of latest developments in
assessment and rehabilitation of ankle injuries by means of holding
practical clinical workshop sessions.
This meeting aims to build upon the efforts of the 1st & 2nd symposiums
held in Ulm, Germany in 2000 and Delaware, USA in 2004. Both of these
successful meetings brought together a wide variety of clinical
specialists and researchers in the area of ankle instability from
around the world. Abstracts from the 2nd IAS are now available in the
Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy[1].
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DETAILS.
Emphasis will be on oral and poster presentations of original research,
case studies and clinical commentaries along with selected plenary
presentations. Deadline for submission is May 1, 2006. All abstracts
and will be peer-reviewed by the conference organizing committee.
Abstracts selected for oral (platform) presentation will be limited to
ten minutes, to be followed by a five-minute discussion period. Some
abstracts will be presented in poster format and displayed throughout
the duration of the conference. Authors will be notified
electronically of an acceptance decision by June 15, 2006 .
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT AND PAPER SUBMISSION IS MAY 1, 2006.
Instructions to Authors.
Submission of work is solicited in two formats:
Authors are required to submit a 300 word abstract which will appear in
the conference proceedings as well as a special issue of the Journal of
Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy.
• Research reports require a structured abstract containing a
maximum of 300 words, divided into 6 sections with the following
headings (in this order): Study Design, Objectives, Background, Methods
and Measures, Results, Conclusion.
• The abstract for case studies should have 5 sections with the
following headings: Study Design, Background, Case Description,
Outcomes and Discussion.
• Clinical commentaries require an abstract that is not
structured.
Authors are encouraged to submit a paper outlining their work in more
detail, which will be received by all delegates in electronic format
(CD-ROM/Memory stick). This paper should adhere to the guidelines
outlined in the paper submission template.
