The Codamotion team recently held their first User and Workshop Meeting of 2008 in Marseille, France, on the 16th of January. The one day workshop was held at the Institut des Sciences du Mouvement, at the Université de la Méditerranée, and was attended by many movement analysis enthusiasts from all over the world.
The day’s agenda included a morning of presentations presented by a number of key note speakers from various fields of research, and an afternoon of round table and lab discussions. Participants were invited to ask any questions they had about the Codamotion system.
Presentations:
| Keynote Speakers |
From | Country | Title |
| Louis Peeraer | Geel | Belgium | "Simulation of three-dimensional gait kinematics of the foot based on plantar foot pressure distribution data" |
| E.Elizalde, E.Rausell |
Madrid | Espagne | "Gait analysis-assisted evaluation of treatment with botulinum toxin in children with cerebral palsy" |
| Rory O' Sullivan |
Dublin | Ireland | "Use of a Mobile Gait Laboratory across Ireland" |
