On behalf of the convening committee we invite you to attend the 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting of ISPO Australia; Enhancing Mobility through Therapy and Technology.

The vibrant Gold Coast will host this year’s conference. From the golden beaches, action packed theme parks, nearby exotic hinterland, to the relaxed beach front cafés and restaurants, the Gold Coast provides a stunning, internationally renowned holiday destination.

We are excited to present Dr. Kenton Kaufman from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, as our keynote speaker. Dr. Kenton Kaufman has an extensive portfolio of prosthetic, orthotic and biomechanics research focused on analysis of human locomotion used to provide recommendations for therapeutic intervention.

In addition to our keynote speaker, we have an exciting range of invited addresses exploring advances in prosthetic and orthotic technology, the role of the multidisciplinary team in enhancing rehabilitation, challenges in prosthetic and orthotic service delivery and the changing face of chronic disease management.

The conference will be highly clinical and relevant to health professionals and we encourage people to consider contributing to the success of this conference through podium or poster presentations.

We look forward to meeting you in Surfers Paradise.
