III STEP: Linking Movement Science and Intervention

描述（由申请人提供）：这个为期六天的研究所将通过将运动科学转化为有效的临床干预措施，促进运动功能障碍患者的物理治疗的进步。运动控制、学习和发展领域的新发现通常在实验室里讨论，并在基础科学界中分享。这些讨论很少转化为临床实践。将基础科学发现与临床实践联系起来的会议对康复的进步越来越重要。2005年7月5日至21日将在犹他州犹他大学举行，这是近四十年来举行的系列会议中的第三次。本次研讨会的任务是将证据转化为实践（STEP）是探索现有的和发展的理论，模型和知识有关的运动科学；将这些理论、模型和证据整合到物理治疗教育和实践中；识别、讨论和分析临床实践正在发展的领域；并确定和讨论科学进步对物理治疗实践的影响。国际参与者包括物理治疗教育者、临床医生和研究人员，他们的目的是将科学证据整合到临床实践中。将邀请并鼓励一组研究生和初级教师参加。研究所的形式将是上午的全体会议，然后是下午由来自卫生服务、神经科学、神经病学、发育神经生物学、心理学、康复医学、运动行为和物理治疗领域的主要基础和临床科学家同时进行的重点分组会议。晚上的戈登式会议小组和晚上的海报会议将促进对话和合作。在研究所结束时，主要参与者将被要求通过具体的主题报告总结每天的研究议程。最后一个下午将重点讨论发展学术-临床伙伴关系的战略，以促进发展更有效的临床干预措施。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This six-day institute will provide a catalyst for advancement of physical therapy for people with movement dysfunction through the translation of movement science into effective clinical interventions. New discoveries in the areas of motor control, learning, and development are usually discussed in the laboratory and shared among the basic science community. Less frequently, these discussions are converted into clinical practice. Conferences that bridge the basic science findings to clinical practice are increasingly important for advances in rehabilitation. This is the third in a series, over nearly four decades to be held July 5-21, 2005, at the University of Utah, SLC, Utah. The mission of this Symposium on Translating Evidence into Practice (STEP) is to explore existing and developing theories, models and knowledge regarding movement science; to integrate these theories, models and evidence into physical therapy education and practice; to identify, discuss and analyze areas where clinical practice is evolving; and to identify and discuss the implications of scientific advances for physical therapy practice. The intended international group of participants includes physical therapy educators, clinicians and researchers whose intent is to integrate scientific evidence into clinical practice. A select group of graduate students and junior faculty will be invited and encouraged to participate. The institute format will be morning general plenary sessions followed by afternoon concurrent focused breakout sessions by leading basic and clinical scientists from the fields of health services, neuroscience, neurology, developmental neurobiology, psychology, rehabilitation medicine, motor behavior, and physical therapy. An evening Gordon-like conference panel and evening poster sessions will facilitate dialogue and collaboration. At the conclusion of the institute, key participants will be asked to summarize each day's research agenda through specific topic reports. The last afternoon will focus on strategies to develop academic-clinical partnerships to facilitate the development of more effective clinical interventions.
