• Physical and occupational therapists
• Occupational health care providers

Conference topics

• Methods to measure vibration of tools or vehicles
• Sensors for measuring transmission of vibration
• Occupations where vibration exposure is prevalent
• Physiological and biological effects of vibration
• Mechanisms underlying the development of vibration-induced disorders
• Dose-response relationships between vibration and the risk of injury
• Mathematical modelling of vibration exposures and transmission to the human body

Required format for abstracts

Authors

The name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), and email address of the corresponding author should follow the title.

• Single spaced text with a 12-pt font should be used for the body of the abstract.
• References and figures captions, if needed, may be 10-pt font.

Headings

• Text should be organized using appropriate section headings, such as Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and References
• Section headings should be in bold and centered on the page.

Length

Abstracts are limited to two pages. Do not put page numbers on the abstract. The organizers will add page numbers when the abstracts are compiled.

Margins

The left margin should be 3.8 cm, and all other margins should be 2.4 cm.

References

Citations in the text should be numbered. The Reference section should follow Harvard style and list the numbered citations in alphabetical order. Font size for the reference list may be reduced to 10 pt.
