Deadline for abstracts: January 15, 2009
Categories of Research. Abstracts should be submitted in one
of the following categories:
-
Basic Sciences.Includes
the use of animals and computer-related research or
investigation on cadavers, in fields such as anatomy,
physiology, biomechanics, biochemistry, immunology, etc.
-
Diagnostic Sciences.
Includes the evaluation of various diagnostic or
analytical methods or instruments. Where new concepts are
presented there should be accompanying data collection on
normal and abnormal populations of patients. Clinical
examination techniques such as palpation or x-ray and
interexaminer reliability studies are encouraged.
-
Clinical Management.
Includes clinical trials, retrospective studies and
multiple case studies. The presentation of new
adjusting/manipulation methods are encouraged but such
presentations should include some clinical data collection
on why the techniques should be considered.
-
Special Interest. Papers
on history, anthropology, epidemiology, cost of care,
standards of care and educational methods fall into this
category. Philosophical papers will also be reviewed
provided they follow formal philosophical argument with
references rather than the presentation of personal
opinion.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABSTRACTS:
Abstracts will only be accepted by e-mail.
