Conference Wish list
Beginning of the year, so time to make my conference wish list.
The I-Fab is organising from september 15 to 19 it’s second congress on the biomechanics of foot and ankle in Seattle. The program looks nice especially on Friday and Saturday.
Another nice one is the GCMAS (gait and clinical movement analysis society) annual conference in Miami, Florida.
Furthermore, we also have the 20th FIP world congress in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Hopefully, the PFOLA will give notice of their annual conference soon…
Mind me, … is’t a wish list!
Fibula Mobilisation
On our last trip to the states (PFOLA – Atlanta Downtown) Bruce Williams demonstrated a mobilisation/manipulation of the fibula! Howard Dananberg published an article on this subject (for the treatment of equinus) in the JAPMA 2000 and another one for the treatment of ankle and foot pain in JAPMA 2004

Atlanta Final Call
A bit dazed, jet lagged and feelin’ funny as usual
The flight home was OK – slept from 2 seconds after take off, but was rollin’ and turing on my way to small seats… for the complete flight.
The PFOLA conference was as usual superb, and again we took some time to check out the City.
A Braves game, a walk through the Georgia Aquarium, and a few beers.
Tnx to my main man PJ and MzMitchel for the lovely time ‘n talks. Amazing what a difference a local can make…
And that Adam Levine stuff looks like a compliment to me 
Steaks, beer and rock n roll
A smooth 10 hour flight zipped us to Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International airport.
It took us double the time, I need to get from my home to Ghent, to get from the plane to the exit of the airport. No less then 5 security checkpoints, 5 stops on the airport train, and some searching for our luggage later we managed to get a cab to downtown Atlanta.
A quick check-in, and 20 min. later we hooked up with André, the hotel concierge who pointed us to a great steak house and the local Hooters pub. All of a sudden, the upcomming sleepdeficit was gone…
Pictures to follow
1O minutes of philosophy by Sam
Sam Dillemans was born in Louvain, Belgium, 1965 and works as a painter (and in my humble opinion – as a philosopher) in borgerhout, Antwerp.
This 10 minute video is a small part of a documentary based on the Monography that was published in 2007.
I would want my students (soon to be colleagues) to listen to this fragment and to reflect… Cause from time to time, I get the feelin’ that a lesson in ”how to be humble” is worth more then how do I jump in the fast lane to wealth.
Sit back, pay attention … and listen!
A quote:
ik leef altijd met een zeer gezonde frustratie dat ik er nooit zal geraken, en dat maakt dat ik ook altijd zal blijven werken dag in dag uit
Tnx Mr. VC for bringin’ this to my attention – I very much appreciate our 20′ talks!
New LER: Lower Extremity Review
LER is brought to you by the same team that brought you BioMechanics magazine. When CMP Medica abruptly shut down BioMechanics in February, a void was immediately created. Our research showed that there was a need for a multi-disciplinary publication focused and targeted on the lower extremity. Healthcare reform and the continuum of care has opened the door for the delivery of accurate, practical and relevant information for the various specialists involved in treating the lower extremity. Podiatrists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, prosthetists, and pedorthics are all connected in this process, and LER will be bridging the information gap between the various specialists as well as between practitioners and manufacturers of products used to treat lower extremity injuries.
