Abstract
In a Las Vegas room that could have fit easily into a Boeing 747, a remarkable number of physical therapists took time from other activities of the Sixtieth Annual Conference of the American Physical Therapy Association to listen to a symposium on pathokinesiology—its definition and whether the term could be used to describe the profession of physical therapy. I say a remarkable number because, despite the outstanding reputations of the speakers, there was little advanced publicity about the session and, in the midst of the research papers, clinical sessions, and inevitable socializing, it would have been easy to avoid going to what promised to be a philosophical session. As the session co-moderator along with Sandy Burkart, I looked at the cavernous meeting room and anticipated feeling quite lonely.
