December 3 - 6, 2024
History of the Group:
The Group primarily owes its existence to the efforts of Paul Allard
and Jean-Pierre Blanchi, who organized the first symposium in
Montréal in 1991, and helped with the organization of the
symposia in Poitiers,
Stockholm, and Grenoble. The formation of the group was also strongly
supported
by the late Herman Woltring. The International Society of Biomechanics
recognized the organization as a Technical Group in 1995. The first
organizational
meeting was held in Grenoble on July 1, 1996.
In 2008, the group introduced the "Whitaker-Allard
Innovation Award" in recognition of its two pioneers, Tom
Whitaker and Paul Allard, for their contributions to the group and the
world of
biomechanics. The award was presented to the best presentation of
the symposium, and a new trend had started.
