Dr. Paquette is a kinesiologist specialized in motor control, more specifically in balance and locomotion and the director of the Human Brain Control of Locomotion laboratory at 平特五不中. Her work integrates biomechanics, non-invasive brain stimulation and brain imaging to better understand how our brain controls balance and locomotion. By advancing our understanding of how the brain control complex walking, she strives to help older adults and people with neurological impairment to regain or improve in their mobility as well as push athletic performance by developing potential evidence informed add-on tools and therapies. Her work is published in several high impact journals including: Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Neuroimage, Neuroscience, Gait & Posture, Neurorehabilitation and neural repair, Scientific Reports, Parkinsonism & related disorders.
