History

There are several regional and international organisations within Europe who have a significant general interest in either biomechanics or clinical assessment of function. However there was no forum where biomechanical, clinical and other issues relating specifically to the study of human movement could be discussed in detail amongst all the interested professionals. ESMAC was formed to meet this need.The Society was founded in 1992 in Oswestry in the UK.
