Karim Khan MD, PhD
Karim Khan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Family Practice at University of British Columbia, Canada. He is an Australian-trained sports physician known for his innovative tendon research, and a major advocate for the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment in clinical practice and through research. Also in collaboration with physiotherapists, he has contributed substantially to the evidence that physiotherapists have a major role in prevention of osteoporotic fractures through fall prevention in seniors. A popular keynote speaker at physiotherapy conferences the world over, Karim is renowned for his encouragement of physiotherapists starting out in clinical practice or research.

Steven Wolf PhD
Steven Wolf is Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, USA. His research has centred on use of artificial physiological feedback (via operant conditioning) to enhance control of aberrant movement in normal human subjects and patients with neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. This work has involved shaping muscle, force, and joint position control through presentation of audio or visual cues. Another area of emerging interest involves functional, biomechanical and physiological assessments of older individuals to control and change postural sway to reduce or prevent falling. These explorations form the basis for developing new therapies for selective muscle recruitment.
