Clinical Biomechanics Award

The winning paper will be published as the ISB Clinical Biomechanics Award paper in Clinical Biomechanics (subject to a normal peer review process). The first author of the winning paper will receive a certificate and a monetary award of US$ 1250.

 

Requirements. Any scientist may submit an abstract for the award, except the members of the ISB Executive Council. The abstract must describe a study related to a clinical problem and contain some sort of biomechanical analysis pertaining to the clinical problem. From the abstracts submitted, 5 are selected and nominated for the award. The authors of the 5 selected abstracts are requested to submit a full length paper prepared according to the guidelines of Clinical Biomechanics. The paper must be entirely original, not published at the time of the ISB-congress nor submitted for publication to any Book or Journal other than Clinical Biomechanics. A jury will evaluate the full papers and select the winning paper. The first author of the winning paper is invited to give an oral presentation of the winning paper at the Congress in a plenary session. Abstracts are solicited for this competition with the call for papers for the ISB Congress.
