CSM Abstract Guidelines

The Combined Sections Meeting is an excellent opportunity for soliciting feedback and creating a dialogue with colleagues regarding your current research.

As the largest national conference in physical therapy, abstract submissions for presentation at CSM should be innovative, well-written, and contain data when appropriate.

All abstracts submitted to the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy for CSM are peer-reviewed and only the highest scoring abstracts are accepted for presentation as a platform or poster.  In recent years, the number of abstracts submissions for CSM to ANPT has grown significantly. Be sure to review and follow all submission instructions.

The Research Committee has created a set of guidelines to assist in abstract preparation.  These guidelines are geared toward writing a Research Report or a Case Study Report, but note that other types of abstracts are accepted for CSM (e.g. Special Interest Report, Theory Report).

Submissions for the ANPT CSM Abstract - Early Career Scientist Award are now open for CSM 2026. The below form must be completed by August 1st, 2025.
