Why do we need a European School on posture and movement analysis ?
This subject is one of the major priorities for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM). The European Board of PRM has supported the project of the Université de la Méditerranée, Marseilles in the organisation of this teaching programme.
Why should PRM doctors study posture and movement ?
There has been a drammatic increase in the number of peoples with motor disabilities.
New tools and methods to quantify posture and movement have been developing over recent years. Knowledge of these new tools and methods is indispensable in analysing problems of standing, walking, reaching and grasping, in order to prescribe and evaluate rehabilitation programmes, orthotics and prosthetics, functional surgery in peoples with motor Disabilities.
Who is involved in the European School Marseilles and who are the members of the organising committee?
Alain Delarque professor of PRM is lead of the European School Marseilles. The organising committee is composed of clinicians and scientists : professors André Bardot and Jean-Michel Viton, Serges Mesure, Laurent Bensoussan, Reinoud Bootsma and Michel Lacour.
What’s the teaching programme about?
The European School Marseilles will highlight the latest advances in physiology of posture and movement, will review new tools and new methods in laboratory and clinical evaluation of posture and movement and ambulatory monitoring of mobility. Modellisation and simulation of movement will also be included and clinicians will cover the results of posture and movement evaluation in peoples with motor disabilities.
Why is the teaching programme in English?
Because international journals and events use English as the common language, it is essential to know technical English. The European School Marseilles will allow you to enrich your vocabulary on posture and movement. Every effort will be made to make lectures easily understood. Students will receive abstracts before each session and key words will be explained. Lecturers will speak slowly and will be willing to go over points during their lecture.
Who is the teaching programme for ?
European School Marseilles is for trainees in PRM. If registered with the European Board of PRM (http://univweb.pharoweb.univ-mrs.fr/PRM/), registration fees will be waived. Those living outside France (in a limited number) will not have to pay accommodation.
The European School Marseilles is also for established specialists in PRM, with special rates for Board certified doctors.
Will there be an examination?
Yes for those who wish to take one. On passing, they will receive a certificate.
A certificate for regular attendance will be given to all others to satisfy continuing education requirements.
