Dear Colleagues,

We take great pleasure in inviting you to attend the 3rd International Congress on Gait & Mental Function, which will be held in Washington D.C., USA, February 26-28, 2010.

The congress will once again bring together researchers and clinicians from all over the world for three days of intensive scientific and clinical interactions with the aim to examine the science that links gait and mental function, promote the exchange of ideas and information and advance this rapidly emerging field.

The high quality scientific program currently evolving through collaboration between local and international experts will open new insights into issues related to gait & mental function through a combination of clinically oriented presentations and the latest scientific highlights. Content will be international in scope with speakers recognized for their academic and clinical achievements.

Researchers and clinicians from a variety of fields including cognitive neuroscientists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, gerontologists, rehabilitation specialists, physical and occupational therapists, as well as researchers of gait, posture or mental functions are invited to participate and submit abstracts for the congress.

Washington D.C. is an exciting city with much to offer and will provide an ideal location for what promises to be an exciting and memorable congress.

We look forward to welcoming you in Washington D.C. in February 2010!
