About Daniel Fournier

Daniel is a former MASc student in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. After receiving his Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo in 2017, he chose to pursue a Master of Science (MASc) degree to explore his interests in shoulder and clinical biomechanics. During his time as a graduate student, he was co-supervised by professor Stewart McLachlin (Mechanical Engineering - ORTHOtron group) and professor Clark Dickerson (Kinesiology - DIESEL group).

Daniel’s research focused on compensatory kinematics during rehabilitative shoulder exercises and the use of smartwatches to recognize and evaluate rehabilitative shoulder exercise performance. Daniel also collaborated on other projects: exploring genetic and physical factors associated with rotator cuff tear diseases; and testing if a smartwatch can determine arm elevation heights in a workplace setting.
