2008 CSM Abstracts Introduction
JOSPT is pleased to publish abstracts of the 2008 Combined Sections Meeting (CSM), which takes place in Nashville, Tennessee, February 6-10, 2008. This collection of abstracts provides a glimpse into the research presented as part of the scientific programming of the Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy Sections. The number and variety of the presentations scheduled for CSM are testimony to the dynamic research activities underway in the field of musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation. The abstracts presented in the January issue of the Journal are reviewed and selected by members of the research committee of each section based on content and format. The abstracts are not, however, reviewed by the Associate Editors or the Editor-in-Chief of JOSPT. By design, each abstract presents only a brief summary of a research project - a summary that typically does not permit a full evaluation of the scientific rigor with which the work was conducted. In may cases, these abstracts serve the purpose of sharing new research ideas and, therefore, offer only preliminary results that will require future validation. Yet, presenting this type of research information at CSM plays an important role in encouraging a dialog among researchers, clinicians, and educators. The annual Combined Sections Meeting provides a valuable forum for learning from clinical and research experts in physical therapy and related fields. Moreover, unlike reading a manuscript in a journal, attending a professional conference presents us the opportunity to interact with the authors - our colleagues - by asking questions and exchanging ideas.
