  • About the Editor
    • Presents biomechanics fundamentals, motor control, and movement pattern analysis.
    • Shows practical applications for improving technique, injury prevention, and motor learning.
    • Links theory to measurement methods (gait analysis, motion capture) and simple classroom/lab exercises.

Emma Tremblay is a biomechanist whose research examines movement coordination, motor control, and injury prevention across the lifespan. She combines motion-capture experiments with computational modelling to identify efficient movement patterns and reduce overload risk. Emma has contributed to interdisciplinary grants that translate lab findings into coaching and rehabilitation protocols. She teaches advanced courses in human movement science and supervises graduate projects on gait analysis and neuromuscular adaptation. Emma also consults with sports clubs and rehab centres to implement evidence-based training plans. Her ongoing work investigates the interaction between fatigue and movement variability.
