Dr. Morin' research involves the application of technology to further our understanding of biological systems, in particular the neuromuscular system, and to better understand the negative effects of work, e.g. musculoskeletal injury risk, and how such effects can be minimized. This is done primarily through the measurement and analysis of biological signals, both intrinsic signals that arise from tissues within the body, principally the electromyogram (EMG), and extrinsic signals that are due to body motion and interaction with the environment, e.g. limb segment accelerations and contact forces. These signals are used to gain insight into specific aspects of human physiology and biomechanics.
