Human Movement Variability Conference and Great Plains Biomechanics Conference
Human Movement Variability Conference and Great Plains Biomechanics Conference
5th Annual Human Movement Variability Conference &
1st Annual Great Plains Biomechanics Conference
Wednesday, May 13 & Thursday, May 14, 2020 | Scott Conference Center
Conference Schedule
The Human Movement Variability conference is an annual conference organized by the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability and Department of Biomechanics since its culmination in 2016. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers and clinicians to learn and share the latest in human movement variability research.
The Great Plains Biomechanics Conference is a new conference that will coincide with the Human Movement Variability conference in 2020. The goal of this conference is to provide a student-centered meeting where the growing field of biomechanics is explored through poster and podium sessions and a keynote speaker. The target demographic includes students, faculty, and clinicians from states such as Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

Abstract Submission
Presenting author is required to register and attend the conference.
When submitting an abstract, authors will be asked to indicate their preference between a podium or poster presentation. As the distinction between podium and poster presentations is only a matter of the presentation mode, submissions in both categories will be assessed by the same scientific criteria. The Scientific Committee will determine the final mode of presentation.

NEW this year! Promising Graduate Student Award
The Promising Graduate Student Award will acknowledge one student who has performed superior research in the field of Biomechanics or Human Movement Science in general. It entails a certificate as well as a monetary prize. Three finalists will be selected and given the opportunity to present their work for 15 minutes + 5 minutes of questions during the Promising Graduate Student podium session. The awardee will be announced during the awards ceremony. Non-awardee finalists will be eligible for the other awards.
