Scott Landry

Professor of Biomechanics and Anatomy at Acadia University

Wolfville, Nova Scotia

Research Expertise

Biomechanical and neuromuscular analyses of young athletes

About

Scott's research interests have focused on the sex disparity in athletic injuries (e.g. anterior cruciate ligament - ACL) and disease (e.g. knee osteoarthritis - OA) through biomechanical and neuromuscular analyses of the human body during gait and various athletic movements. Scott uses technologies such as motion capture, force platforms, inertial sensors and electromyography to measure and analyze joint and muscle mechanics
