Meeting Awards
At each Annual Meeting, ASB honors excellence in research presented at the meeting. Individual meeting awards are selected based on the quality of the abstract submissions and oral presentations (Journal of Biomechanics and Clinical Biomechanics Awards) or the quality of a poster presentation (President’s Award). The winners of the meeting awards are announced at the close of the meeting.
