World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB) 2018 in Dublin, Ireland
Events
We will be supporting our partners at AMTI, Motek and Myon at the 8th World Congress of Biomechanics 2018! Held every four years, the congress runs from the 8th – 12th July and is being hosted in Dublin, Ireland this year. Delegates from all over the globe will come together to share their expertise in the fields of biomechanics, engineering, medicine, technology and research. With a huge collection of exhibitors and speakers, the WCB is not one to miss! Read more about WCB 2018 on their website here.
As their UK representatives, we are proud to collaborate with AMTI and Motek at the congress. AMTI are exhibiting at Space #16, and Motek are exhibiting at Space #56 – 59. You will be able to find Summit Medical and Scientific at the AMTI and Motek stands. Motek will also be joined by Mike Jones, C-Mill ambassador and user at The Morrello Clinic in Newport, South Wales. Mike will be demonstrating the Gait Realtime Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) system which will be on show at Motek’s booth. You can read more about Mike’s journey to full recovery using Motek’s C-Mill here, and read more about the GRAIL here.
You can also find our partners Myon at the Cometa stand at Space #64.
