Nos intérêts de recherche

Le Laboratoire de Simulation et Modélisation du Mouvement (S2M) de l’Université de Montréal étudie le mouvement humain à travers la biomécanique, la neurobiomécanique et la modélisation avancée.

Nous combinons technologies expérimentales de pointe et méthodes numériques pour optimiser la performance, prévenir les troubles musculosquelettiques, comprendre la coordination neuromusculaire et développer des innovations applicables en clinique, en sport et dans les arts.

Nous formons une nouvelle génération de chercheur·e·s et de professionnel·le·s capables de repousser les frontières de la connaissance.
