The Society aims to promote and teach the disciplines of electromyography and kinesiology in normal, pathological, and experimental conditions emphasizing the interactive use of the two disciplines. The members of the Society include a broad range of professionals such as medical doctors, scientists, physiotherapists, engineers, ergonomists, technicians and other who have an interest in research and clinical applications of electrophysiology and kinesiology. We have received, reviewed and processed 250 contributions up to now. These were assigned to 6 keynote lectures, 6 seminar presentations, 98 oral presentations and 115 posters. 10% of the submitted abstracts were rejected during our international review process.
