Scott Landry is a Professor at Acadia University specializing in Kinesiology. His research encompasses detailed biomechanical and neuromuscular analyses of athletes, particularly in how they perform athletic maneuvers in both practice and game situations across various environments such as gymnasiums and artificial turf. The main objectives of his research group include understanding the mechanisms and risk factors associated with athletic injuries, especially non-contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries. Furthermore, they aim to prevent such injuries through acquired knowledge and to collaborate with the sporting equipment industry to influence the development of new footwear and equipment that enhance performance while minimizing injury risk. His projects include studying neuromuscular control strategies, the relationship between gait and knee osteoarthritis, and the biomechanical analyses of sporting maneuvers. Landry has published extensively on topics such as the effects of leg dominance and sex on neuromuscular control patterns in children, as well as the functional implications of unstable shoe designs on gait biomechanics.
