Jordan Cannon, MSc

Jordan's Profile Picture

Research Interests

I am interested in the control and modulation of multi-joint dynamics. I am currently investigating the influence of pelvis morphology and neuromuscular control on hip-spine biomechanics in persons with and without femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Using a combination of experimentation, imaging, and computational modelling, this work will explore the efficacy of modifying neuromuscular control and hip joint kinematics to reduce joint loading during dynamic tasks.
