Sports organisations and leading clinicians gather to shape future of sports medicine
Hundreds of delegates from global sporting organisations joined clinical experts and industry innovators at the 28th Isokinetic Medical Group Conference to share best practice, in a bid to improve elite athletic performance and health.
The conference took place at Wembley Stadium under the title ‘Football medicine meets the universe of sport.’ Workshop sessions were held and the latest clinical research findings about sports health, injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation revealed.
Canon Medical’s experts delivered hands-on practical sessions using diagnostic ultrasound for foot and ankle, and hip and thigh examinations, workshops on ‘emergence and post treatment development pathways for MRI knee’, demonstrations of what the company says is the first-ever cardiac screening mobile vehicle and symposia on recent developments in sports imaging and the impact on player management.
The Canon Medical sports imaging symposia featured presentations from clinical experts and studies. These included ‘Cardiac monitoring to optimise athletic performance – innovative concept or a stretch too far?’ by NIHR academic clinical lecturer in paediatric cardiology at the Bristol Heart Institute and Bristol Congenital Heart Centre in the UK Dr Guido Pieles, ‘Current concepts on imaging of Intraarticular hip injuries’ by chief radiologist at Clínica Coloma in Spain Dr Luis Cerezal and ‘Decision making in sports medicine’ by first team physician at FC Barcelona Dr Lluís Til.
