  • About the Editor
    • Presents core biomechanical principles (force, torque, levers) and how they apply to human movement and joint loading.
    • Demonstrates movement analysis tools - gait, posture, and functional task assessment - to identify mechanical contributors to injury.
    • Connects biomechanics to clinical interventions: corrective exercise, orthotic/assistive device prescription, and load-management strategies.

Juliette Paquette is a biomechanics researcher and kinesiologist whose work centers on movement analysis and musculoskeletal function. She directs a motion-analysis laboratory where she studies gait, joint loading, and neuromuscular coordination across healthy and clinical populations. Juliette has authored numerous journal articles on biomechanical modeling and applied assessment techniques and teaches graduate courses in human movement science. She advises rehabilitation teams on translating biomechanical findings into individualized treatment plans. Her current investigations involve wearable sensor validation and machine-learning approaches to movement classification.
