Biomechanics: Mobility and Stability

  3. Research

Musculoskeletal disorders in Canada are expected to affect 15 million individuals by the year 2031, resulting in a huge economic burden on the healthcare system. Our research and technology development in the Department of Human Health Sciences addresses this growing burden of musculoskeletal disease. Our primary objective is to prevent disability and improve quality of life by identifying, at a pre-clinical stage, mechanical, neural and physiological risk factors related to musculoskeletal disability, including aging, sensory deficits, pathological degeneration and chronic pain.
