Équipe de Recherche
Directeur - Mario Lamontagne, PhD
Les recherches de Dr. Lamontagne portent sur les sciences biomédicales et la biomécanique, en particulier sur la modélisation numérique et musculo-squelettique des articulations humaines, la conception et la technologie adaptative de prothèses et orthèses, la prévention des blessures et l’adaptation neuromusculaire après un remplacement de la hanche et du genou. Il a supervisé plus de 80 étudiants aux niveaux de la maîtrise et du doctorat. Il a publié plus de 80 articles de recherche évaluées par les pairs et plus de 320 contributions scientifiques. Au cours des 30 dernières années, il a reçu des fonds de recherche du Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG). De plus, il a reçu des subventions de recherche des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC). Ses principaux programmes de recherche portent sur la mécanique articulaire de la hanche et du genou sain et pathologique. De plus, l’évaluation biomécanique de la mobilité des patients ayant subi une arthroplastie totale de la hanche et du genou demeure un grand intérêt de recherche. Ses recherches portent sur les sciences biomédicales, la biomécanique, la modélisation numérique et musculo-squelettique, la prévention des blessures, la conception de technologies assistées (prothèses et orthèses) et l’adaptation neuromusculaire. Son dernier programme de recherche financé par le CRSNG consiste à développer un modèle numérique et musculo-squelettique de l’articulation de la hanche pour les patients atteints de déformation fémoroacétabulaire.

Stagiaire Postdoctoral
Danilo S. Catelli, PhD
Danilo joined the HMBL team in September 2013. His current research project focuses on investigating the role of physical activity in the development of hip impingement morphology in adolescents. He is particularly interested in integrating musculoskeletal modelling to evaluate how physical activity may influence the development of the cam femoroacetabular impingement. He completed his PhD at University of Ottawa in 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Lamontagne, where he incorporated joint biomechanics and musculoskeletal modelling to quantify the surgical effectiveness in patients after hip arthroscopy or total hip replacement.
Danilo graduated from Federal University of São Carlos with a Bachelor in Physical Education and Teaching (‘08) and he concluded his MSc in Bioengineering at University of São Paulo (‘10). From 2011 to 2013, he worked as Assistant Professor and was the Dean of the College of Physical Education at Faculdade Sete de Setembro (Brazil). He currently is a member of the ISB, ISBS, ORS and EORS societies.

Erik Kowalski, M.Sc. (Ph.D. Candidate)
Erik joined the Human Movement Biomechanics Laboratory as the laboratory coordinator in August 2015. In September 2018, he began his PhD under the supervision of Mario Lamontagne. His current research project focuses on understanding which pre-operative muscle parameters are predicative of post-operative muscle function and mobility between high and low-functioning total knee replacement patients.
Erik completed his MSc at the University of Ottawa under the supervision of Dr. Jingxian Li, where his research compared biomechanical differences between forefoot and rearfoot strike running patterns, and how these two different landing patterns impacted joint loading during uphill and downhill running. As an active runner who trains for at least one marathon each year, he began to wonder why some people can continue to run without knee pain into their older years, while others cannot run more than a few kilometers without experiencing knee pain. This led Erik to become involved with Mario’s research on knee osteoarthritis and total knee replacements.
