The Italian Society of Clinical Movement Analysis was funded in Pisa (Italy) on  June the 11th 1999.
The mission of the Society is to foster the study and the clinical application of movement analysis methods, in order to improve the functional evaluation of motor disorders, to enhance the efficacy of the treatments through a quantitative analysis of data and a more focussed treatment planning, to quantify the results of current therapies.
Medical and engineering components are integrated in the SIAMOC, and both contribute at creating a stimulating scientific environment, collaboration among groups, professional competencies. The Society is open to collaboration with other scientific Societies, both national and international, and to activate initiatives of mutual benefit.
The Society is affiliated with Gait & Posture. Members of the Society receive a subscription to the journal at the reduced rate as part of their annual membership of the Society.
Each year it organises an Italian Congress, meetings, courses, seminars. In several occasions awards are given to students and young researchers. Whenever possible also specific scientific activities are financed by the Society.
