We welcome the submission of the intial manuscript in electronic format, as this can help us to speed up the peer-review process. Please send an electronic copy in the form of a CD or floppy disk.

Each copy should include an abstract, illustrations, captions, tables and references and have TWO cover pages, one with complete details of the title, the source, the authors and an address, telephone/fax number and e-mail address for the corresponding author. The second cover page, which should show only the title and subtitle of the article, will be sent to referees. The text and figures should exclude all reference to the source of the work and the authors - this will be restored before publication.
Letters to Editors
Comments regarding articles published in the Journal are solicited and should be sent as "Letter to the Editor". Such letters are subject to editorial review. They should be brief and succinct. When a published article is subjected to comment or criticism, the authors of that article will be invited to write a letter or reply.

6. All illustrations should accompany the typescript, but not be inserted in the text.

Review and Publication Process
1. You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt of the manuscript by the Editorial Office before the manuscript is sent to referees. Please contact the appropriate Editor-in-Chief if you do not receive an acknowledgement.
Following assessment one of the following will happen:
A: The paper will be accepted directly. In this instance the Editorial Office will keep a single copy and illustrations. Two copies will be returned to the corresponding author who will be requested to send the final completed manuscript plus illustrations and the manuscript cover sheet to the Editor-in-Chief. Authors must also submit a computer disk (3.5" HD/DD disk, Zip-disk or CD-ROM) containing the final version of the manuscript. Please refer to the following web address for full instructions on electronic submission http://authors.elsevier.com. The corresponding author will be notified of acceptance by e-mail or letter. The Editor-in-Chief will send the accepted manuscript and disk to Elsevier for publication.
The disk should be clearly labelled with the title of the paper and authors. The name of the computer and word processing package used should be on the disks and the name of the specific file indicated. The author should keep a copy of the file and illustrations.
B: The paper will be accepted subject to minor amendments. Again, two copies and illustrations will be returned for correction and the Editor-in-Chief will keep one copy. The corrections should be made and the two corrected copies and illustrations sent back to the Editor-in-Chief for checking. Once the paper is accepted the procedure as in 'A' above will be followed.
C: The paper will be rejected but resubmission invited after a major revision. Two copies will be returned along with comments from the Editor-in-Chief or Referees. A complete resubmission of three copies with illustrations is then required as the paper will be re-evaluated by referees and assessment will start again.
D: The paper will be rejected outright as being unsuitable for publication in Gait and Posture. The Editor-in-Chief will keep one copy, whilst the remaining material will be returned to the author.
2. By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the copyright for their article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. http://www.elsevier.com/homepage/authors/?main=/homepage/about/ita/copyright.shtml.
3. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author for correction, although at this stage any changes should be restricted to typographical errors. Other than these, any substantial alterations may be charged to the authors. Proofs will be sent preferably by e-mail as a PDF file (although they can be sent by overland post) and must be rapidly checked and returned.
4. An order form for reprints will accompany the proofs.
Offprints and Reprints
The principal author will receive 25 offprints of the paper free of charge upon publication. Extra offprint copies (minimum 100) can be ordered prior to publication. Reprints (minimum 100) can be ordered at any time from Elsevier, The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, UK.
Publication Condition
A manuscript submitted to this journal can only be published if it (or a similar version) has not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. A violation of this condition is considered fraud, and will be addressed by appropriate sanctions. Two manuscripts are considered similar if they concern the same hypothesis, question or goal, using the same methods and/or essentially similar data.
