Dalia Grad

Dalia is a current MSc student and comes to the lab with a diverse academic background with her most recent degree in Kinesiology from York University.  Dalia’s research interests are the biomechanics, diagnosis and treatment of joint hypermobility (JH).  The goals of her research include: characterizing biomechanics of asymptomatic and symptomatic JH, identifying biomechanical factors that contribute to symptomatic JH, improving the efficacy of clinical diagnostic testing of JH and developing effective exercise treatments for those with JH.

As an MSc student, Dalia’s thesis will focus on kinetics and kinematics of dynamic balance and gait in those with and without generalized joint hypermobility.  She will continue to work on her thesis and assist with various projects currently happening in the lab.
