Biography
Education
PhD (University of Montreal), MSc (University of Montreal), BSc (Mcgill University)Dr. Nancy St-Onge joined the department of Exercise Science at Concordia after completing post-doctoral studies at the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, McGill University.Research interests
Dr. St-Onge's main interest is to investigate movement control in healthy and impaired populations. She is interested in how healthy and special populations control their posture and react to perturbations. She studies how electromyographic, kinetic, and kinematic adjustments to mechanical perturbations are affected in health and disease. Variables which are indicative of injury and recovery could be used as an objective basis to decide about the management of special populations and develop or evaluate the outcome of rehabilitation protocol or surgery.Teaching activities
