MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am writing this message as the brand new CSB president for

2015-2017. Having spent two years now on the Executive, I am

confident to say that CSB is doing great things for biomechan-

ics across the country and there are many signs that the future is

bright too.

2014 marked the World Congress of Biomechanics meeting in

Boston, where Canadians were well represented in the general

program and in symposia and three invited talks, which are explained in more detail

by Stephen Robinovitch in his report. I could not walk between sessions at the

Hynes Convention Center without running into researchers from all over Canada.

Another key activity of CSB in 2014 was the support of regional biomechanics con-

ferences in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. Just this month, the tradition continued

with the 2015 (twelfth!) Ontario Biomechanics Conference, which had nearly 300

attendees. This emphasizes the vibrancy of biomechanics in Canada, and foreshad-

ows what will hopefully be our largest independent meeting yet, CSB 2016 at

McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

A major focus of the society is to recognize and celebrate high achievement in bio-

mechanics through our early (David Winter Young Investigator) and career awards.

In 2014 there were two distinguished career award winners and a rising scientist

recognized. Awards are presented at our biannual meetings, so I encourage the

membership to nominate persons for career awards well in advance of the meeting.

The new executive features many enthusiastic new members, along with a few re-

turning ones. Please join me in supporting and encouraging this group as we work

towards elevating the visibility, quality, and cohesiveness of Canadian biomechan-

ics both at home and abroad. The surest way to guarantee the health of the society’s

future is to remain current with your membership. Our new treasurer and member

affairs person, Grant Handrigan, will enthusiastically accept your dues!

I am confident we are at the start of a rapid growth in biomechanics research in

Canada, and I am looking forward to experiencing it with all of you. We hope you

PAST PRESIDENT—STEPHEN ROBINOVITCH, PHD

Dear CSB / SCB members,

Greetings and Happy New Year! While it’s somewhat bittersweet to be writ-

ing this note as Past-President of CSB/ SCB, it gives me an opportunity to

express how much I enjoyed my role of President of the Society between

2012-2014, and to thank the members of the CSB/ SCB Executive Commit-

tee during 2012-2014, which included Salvatore Federico (Secretary), An-

drea Clark (Treasurer/Member affairs), Clark Dickerson (Conference Chair),

Dave Andrews (Past President), Sylvain Grenier (Communications), Max

Donelan (Past Conference Chair), Andrew Laing (Member at Large), Cyril

Duclos (Member at Large), Ed Cambridge (Student Representative), and

Scott Brandon (Student Representative). The efforts and dedication of each

member of the Executive were essential in maintaining and growing the ac-

tivities of the Society, and I sincerely enjoyed working with them.

One of our accomplishments was to successfully secure (in December 2014) a Certificate of Continuance for

CSB as a Corporation under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. This was required under the new

Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act, which established a new set of rules for federally incorporated not-

for-profit corporations in Canada. Andrea Clark and Salvatore Federico took lead roles in working with law

firm Fric, Lowenstein & Co. LLP to secure the Certificate. As a Corporation, the purpose of the CSB is to

foster research and the interchange of information in the biomechanics of human physical activity. The ob-

jectives of the Corporation are: (a) to promote biomechanics through intra-group and inter-group communi-

cations, meetings, symposia, research and publications at the regional and national levels; (b) to facilitate

improvement of the quality and application of biomechanics research by bring together people from diverse

backgrounds such as therapists, engineers, sport researchers and other biomechanists to discuss common

data acquisition and interpretation problems.

A major milestone for every CSB Executive Committee is the biannual meeting, which was integrated in

the World Congress of Biomechanics (WBC 2014) meeting in Boston in July 6-11, 2014. In addition to

CSB, participating organizations included the International Society of Biomechanics, American Society of

Biomechanics, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Australian and New Zealand Society of Biome-

chanics, European Society of Biomechanics, German Society of Biomechanics, Global Enterprise for Micro-

Mechanics and Molecular Medicine, and US National Committee on Biomechanics.

The efforts of the CSB Executive, and especially CSB Conference Chair Clark Dickerson, were crucial to

the success of the WCB 2014 meeting. CSB-specific sessions at WCB 2014 included awards sessions at the

Master’s and Doctoral levels, and technical sessions in the areas of tissue biomechanics and occupational

biomechanics. We also enjoyed an excellent plenary talk from Dr. Kevin Englehart (UNB) on powered pa-

per limb prostheses, and excellent keynote talks from CSB Career Award recipients Dr. Geoff Fernie (U To-

ronto) and Dr. Jack Callaghan (U Waterloo).

PAST PRESIDENT—STEPHEN ROBINOVITCH, PHD

Awarded biannually, the Career Award is CSB’s highest recognition of accomplishment. The award honours

individuals who have been leaders in promoting the field of biomechanics in Canada and beyond through

excellence in research, education and mentorship. While the CSB usually provides only one Career Award

every two years, the committee in 2014 regarded two nominees as both deserving, given the pioneering work

of Dr. Geoff Fernie in rehabilitation/ aging biomechanics, and Dr. Jack Callaghan in ergonomics and spine

biomechanics.

Another highlight of the WCB 2014 meeting was awarding the inaugural David Winter Young Investigator

Award to Dr. Stephen Brown (U Guelph) for his work on the biomechanics of intervertebral disc degenera-

tion. The CSB’s Young Investigator Award has a long tradition of recognizing excellence among early-stage

investigators in biomechanics in Canada. 2014 was the first year that David Winter's name was formally at-

tached to the award, with the strong endorsement of his family. David Winter, who passed away in 2011, was

a international giant in the field of biomechanics, and a key figure in establishing world-class facilities for

the study of biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. There are very few of us working in the field of

biomechanics who have not been influenced by his efforts. We are grateful to industry partner NDI for their

ongoing support of this award, and for their support of student awards at the Master’s and Doctoral levels at

WCB 2014.

A major goal of the CSB is to support student research activities and facilitate networking between trainees.

In line with these goals, Ed Cambridge and Scott Brandon, as Student Representatives of the CSB Executive

Committee, established in 2013 a LinkedIn group for student members of CSB. The CSB also provided fi-

nancial support over 2012-2014 to regional biomechanics meetings in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. We also

supported student conference travel awards to attend the WCB 2104 meeting, and awarded student research

travel awards to Meagan Warnica (MSc, U Waterloo) and Taylor Dick (PhD, Simon Fraser U) to visit other

laboratories.

Our final goal as an Executive was to hand off our responsibilities and welcome the new Executive for 2015-

2017 (Clark Dickerson (President), Salvatore Federico (Secretary), Grant Handrigan (Treasurer/ Member

affairs), Mike Holmes (Communications), Peter Keir (Conference Chair), Andrew Laing (Member-at-

Large), Stephen Brown (Member-at-Large), Alison McDonald (Member-at-Large), Tara Diesbourg (Student

Represetative), and Janessa Drake (Student Representative)). And yes, I’m still on the list as Past-President.

Clearly we are in good hands. Special thanks to Andrea Clark for her efforts to transfer her considerable cor-

porate knowledge to incoming Treasurer/ Members affair lead, Grant Handrigan, and to Peter Keir and his

team for organizing what promises to be a great meeting at McMaster in 2016.

Best regards,

Steve Robinovitch, Ph.D.

Past-President, CSB/ SCB


COMMUNICATIONS—MIKE HOLMES, PHD

Hello CSB Members,

I am excited to be taking over as Communications Officer. First, I would like to thank

Sylvain Grenier for his service as the past communications officer and for his pa-

tience during this transition. He has been a tremendous help as I continue to learn

about the duties of my new role. This transition has taken some time and it is partly

the reason for a slight delay in this edition of our newsletter.

Some of you may not know this, but I was responsible for the current CSB website.

While a PhD student, I developed the current site, however that was almost 10 years ago and web design has

come a LONG way since that and I think we can all agree that the site needs some updating! Part of my plan as

communications officer is to deliver an updated and refreshed look to the website. I also hope to update the

“behind the scenes” part of the site so that it can be easily updated by future communications officers that may

not have a strong web design background, essentially making the site more user friendly. Please bear with me

as I start this process. It will likely take some time, but I hope you all agree that it will be worth the effort.

On to the Newsletter—As you can see, we are working on some design updates to the newsletters in an attempt

to provide you with more information that is also visually appealing! Please stay tuned for ongoing changes

and updates to future newsletters.

In addition to the website, I would like to increase the social media presence of CSB. Social media is an excel-

lent way for us to promote the amazing work that we do in Canada. As a first step, we have created an official

CSB Twitter account (details below). Please make sure to follow us so we can communicate great news

stories via this account! We look forward to shar ing Canadian Biomechanics with the world!

These changes will be a big undertaking and I welcome thoughts/suggestions/ideas/criticisms, etc. Should you

have any other suggestions and/or ideas for better communications or website functionality, please feel free to

send them my way ([email protected]).

Our goal is to provide the best service to the membership and once again, thanks to the University of Ottawa

for hosting our current website.

Regards,

Mike

MEMBERSHIP REPORT—GRANT HANDRIGAN, PHD

Dear CSB Members,

Please find above the financial summary for the full calendar year of 2014 and our mem-

bership numbers as of December 2014. As you may notice our membership numbers are

very low (approximately 1/3 of what they were 2 years ago) and so I would encourage

you to go online and pay your membership fees at your earliest convenience.

I am pleased to report that our efforts to transition CSB to the Canada Not-for-Profit Cor-

poration Act were successful (Please note the legal fees listed in the budget for this). Thus

we will maintain our corporation and not for profit status in 2015. Thanks to all who took the time to vote online

about this earlier this year.

This is my final financial report to CSB as I will be handing the finances/member affairs portfolio to Grant Handri-

gan for 2015. I am privileged to have been given the opportunity to serve the CSB community and am very proud of

the way CSB spends the revenue it generates through memberships – supporting regional biomechanics conferences

across Canada, celebrating those who have given their careers to furthering biomechanics research in Canada, and

encouraging students of biomechanics through conference travel awards, NDI conference presentation awards and

research travel awards that enable students to travel to a different lab to conduct a portion of their thesis research. I

am also delighted that, due to transferring much of the financial aspects of CSB to an online format and an electronic

archiving drive over the last few years, I only have three file folders of paper to send to Grant (and not the 6 boxes

that I received 6 years ago).

Thank you for your support of CSB and for giving me this opportunity to serve,

Andrea (past)

As far as the WCB is concerned, there was no way for us to control the registration system and make sure that

CSB members had paid their dues

Question - Dumas: is the WCB subsidising the CSB? The answer is no, although it would have been beneficial

for all Societies, including the CSB.

Continued


2014 AGM MINUTES

8. 2014 Conference Chair Report (Dickerson)

It is a huge conference, with 20 parallel sessions in 4.5 days

There is indeed no revenue for the CSB from this conference

What we were able to accomplish was to have our sessions and, after some struggle, to have our plenary speaker

There were many candidates for the MSc and PhD awards, whose names will be disclosed tomorrow

Comment – Herzog: the WCB made about 400,000 USD and, since the WCB is not an organisation, it cannot deposit

the money anywhere. Walter proposed that 20,000 USD should go to the Societies who brought their members to the

WCB

Comment – Robinovich: This would indeed be beneficial to the Society, which has incurred high expenses for the

awards, the invitation of the keynote speakers, etc.

Question – A member asked: is Herzog the CSB representative in the World Council of Biomechanics; the answer is

no, but this should happen: the CSB should nominate a candidate for the World Council of Biomechanics.

9. Student Representatives Report (Brandon, Cambridge)

One of the major activities of the Student Representatives was the creation of the CSB LinkedIn Group; it has current-

ly 46 members and is used for notifications and connections

The Student Representatives liaise with the student members and have advocated retaining both the Conference

Grants (usually 10, at 300 CAD each) and the Research Travel Grants (1 MSc and 1 PhD at 3,000 CAD each); alt-

hough a better job is needed to promote these awards, there was a large number of applications this year.

Proposal to increase web-based connectivity; options include:

Webinar series with a few presentations each year by Principal Investigators across the CSB (Cost: free to about

1,000 CAD per year)

Curated list of biomechanics laboratories and example research talks

MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) consisting of video lectures, quizzes, peer assessments, and certificate for

completion

11. Other Business

Announcement – Dumas: The ISB, to which the the CSB is affiliated, is meeting in Glasgow (UK), 12-16 July 2015,

and in Brisbane (Australia) in 2017

A French-speaking member commented that the link to the French website of the CSB is felt as insulting by the

French speaking CSB-SCB community, since it has been under construction for 15 years without any advance ever

been made.

Comment – Bernard Drouin (U Laval): Is there any relation between the Biomechanics and the Biomaterials socie-

ties? Robinovich: we have, to date, no contacts with the Biomaterials society; it would be interesting to investigate

what the benefit for both societies would be.
