Members who suspend their membership are also subject to the abstract registration fee payment.

Ⅱ. Restriction on application for the first speaker

1. It is also possible to register multiple abstracts as a first speaker. However, please note it may not be possible to adjust for overlapping presentation times.

Ⅲ. Application notice

1. Please make sure that the contents of the abstract submitted and the actual presentation are not significantly different.
2. Do not submit abstracts that are similar in contents or that are submitted to or published by other academic societies or magazines. If these facts are discovered after the adoption of the abstract, it may be canceled.
3. Since the item [Ethical consideration, informed consent] is set as an independent abstract input frame for this conference, you can enter minimum facility names only in this field (eg: approved by Physical Therapy University Ethics Committee (approval number: ○○ ○○), etc.). Please consider the privacy policy, such as not describing information (person’s name, facility name etc.) that would be detrimental to the research subject in other fields.
   [Ethical consideration, explanation and informed consent] Up to 70 words (not included in abstract word count) This part is NOT included as abstract body so this part does not count in the 400 words.

9. If you are unable to make a presentation on the day, please note that the registration of the speaker for the academic conferences next year including co-speakers may not be permitted.
