Biography
Dr. Mario Lamontagne received his PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal at the University of Montreal. He is currently professor in Biomechanics, at the School of Human Kinetics of the University of Ottawa, as well as cross-appointed at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of this same University. Dr. Lamontagne is actively involved in joint mechanics, muscle modeling, measurements of in vivo mechanical properties of human tissues, electromyography, biomechanics of sport injuries and sport biomechanics. He has supervised numerous students at the Master and doctorate level. He has published more than 50 papers in referred journals. For the last 20 years, he has received research funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Moreover, he is currently funded by NSERC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Arthritis Network (CAN). Dr. Lamontagne is active member of the CAN. His major research programs focus on the mechanics of the human knee joint of healthy and pathological subjects, as well as to the biomechanical assessment of the mobility of patients with a total hip arthroplasty or femoro-acetabular impingement. More recently, his research program is also looking at the effect of a whole body vibration therapy on muscle function and joint loading in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
