Conference 2018 | Isokinetic
Football Medicine Outcomes – Are we winning?
Since 1992, Isokinetic Medical Group has been organising the International Conference on Sports Rehabilitation and Traumatology. This event has become a landmark globally for all those who deal with Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation.
The Conference is the largest gathering of football medicine and science in the world. Bringing together an outstanding selection of internationally recognised experts in Football Medicine and Sports Medicine, to share their knowledge and expertise in a wide range of current concepts and research areas. The aim is, to communicate and get to know each other, and form a global network.
In the XXVIII edition of the International Conference on Sports Rehabilitation and Traumatology, now named “Isokinetic Medical Group Conference”, the Football Medicine Community “Meets the Universe of Sport” to understand the complexity, and the demands of play in numerous other sports practiced worldwide. Comparison of injury risk, epidemiology, athletic development and recovery strategies are all key areas of the Conference.
From the collision sports of American Football and Rugby, throwing sports of Baseball and Cricket, individual accuracy sports such as Tennis and Golf, through to the dynamism of NBA Basketball, every sport has a specificity, that influences injury patterns, injury risk and training demands.
We believe the exchange of information led by those with deep sport specific experience is of paramount importance to increase Sports Medicine and Science knowledge worldwide.
This in accordance with the mission of the Isokinetic Medical Group’s Conference, which is “to inspire the international Sport Medicine Community, through culture, image, atmosphere and organisation, to give their best to improve health of the world”.
