This is an excellent opportunity for further collaboration for UDOTS and UOD with various centres in India. I wish the team all the best for the event and safe journey.”

The UDOTS Team previously gave a successful and well-received Live Demonstration Workshop of Gait Analysis at Indian Orthopaedic Association Conference (IOACON) 2019, which took place in November at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre in Kolkata.
