Professor Abboud is interested in low back pain through his expertise in neurophysiology, biomechanics, motor control and electromyography. Although the majority of his research is carried out in human in-vivo models, Professor Abboud participates in research within the Functional Anatomy Research Chair.

Dr. Mathieu Boudier-Revéret graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University in 2012. He completed his residency in physiatry at the University of Montreal in 2017 with inclusion on the Dean's Honor List. He has been practicing as a physiatrist at the Institut de Physiatrie du Québec since 2017. Dr. Boudier-Revéret completed an additional one-year training in musculoskeletal ultrasound in 2018-2019 at National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei, Taiwan). He has a special interest in ultrasound as well as sports medicine, areas in which he has published articles in reputable scientific journals. He is a clinical assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montreal and has been a member of the CHUM Physiatry Department since 2018.

Dr. Brismée teaches at TTUHSC in the areas of Kinesiology, Orthopaedics, diagnostics, research design and movement science in the Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs at TTUHSC.  He has instructed at over 250 courses and conferences nationally and internationally in advanced Orthopaedic Medicine and Manual Therapy of the spine and extremities.  

Professor Brismee’s research interests include diagnostic and orthopaedic manual therapy management of the spine and the extremities.  He has developed a line of research investigating methods for clinicians to promote intervertebral disc health using movements and positions.  He has authored over 130 scientific papers in refereed journals and was co-investigator in Research projects funded for more than half a million dollars, and is an author of three books and a series of 12 DVD’s on the differential diagnosis and management of orthopaedic conditions.

I have been a physiotherapist since 2000 (Tuiuti University - Brazil). I also hold a master's degree (2003) and a doctorate (2008) in Biomedical Sciences, rehabilitation option, from the Université de Montréal. A training grant from the Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et sécurité du travail was awarded to me during my post-graduate studies. I was fortunate enough to complete a postdoctoral internship at the Institut de recherche Élisabeth Bruyère in 2008. I was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship by the Institute.
My research program focuses on the health of elderly people with and without neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders. I have become an expert on postural balance assessment and intervention methods, with an impact on the functional capacity of the elderly and the prevention of falls. In 2016, I was lucky enough to complete a senior postdoctoral internship at Florida International University (FIU, Miami, USA) funded by CAPES on the theme of aging and falls prevention. Since 2017, I have been an associate professor in the physiotherapy program at UQAC, and the current director of the Physiotherapy Teaching Unit (since February 2021). I was the director of the Clinique Universitaire de physiothérapie between 2018-2021, and I'm also an associate professor in the physiotherapy program at McGill University. Since 2022, I have been an associate professor at UniEVANGÉLICA University in Brazil. I am dear to

Dr. Gilbert was born and raised in Austin, Texas. He attended The University of Texas and graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology. In 1994 he moved to Lubbock, Texas to attend Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) to pursue his Master in Physical Therapy (MPT) Degree. After receiving his MPT degree (1997) and being licensed as a physical therapist, he worked in an outpatient orthopaedic setting at University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas. He took an Assistant Professor faculty position in the TTUHSC, School of Health Professions (SHP), MPT Program in 1999. Since that time, he has completed his Certification in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (COMT) through the International Academy of Orthopaedic Medicine-United States (IAOM-US; 2000), and completed his Doctor of Science (ScD) degree through TTUHSC in 2004.

Dr. Gilbert was awarded the “Young Investigator Award” (2007) by SPINE and was co-author of the SPINE “Young Investigator Award” manuscript (2015) for his work in nerve root displacement and strain in unembalmed cadavers. He is also known for his work in intraneural fluid dynamics in response to neurodynamic mobilization. Dr. Gilbert serves as the TTUHSC representative to the State Anatomical Board of Texas. As Co-Director of the Institute of Anatomical Sciences, Dr. Gilbert is committed to excellence in anatomical teaching, research, and service, and is excited to build an interdisciplinary approach to anatomical education and investigation.

Dr. Florent Moissenet is a researcher at the University of Geneva and Geneva University Hospitals, as well as an associate professor at UdeM. He trained as a mechanical engineer (specializing in robotics) and holds a PhD in biomechanics from the University of Lyon (LBMC Laboratory). He has been working in the medical field since 2011, and has international experience (France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Canada). He has clinical know-how (neurology and orthopedics) and expertise in instrumentation and biomechanical analysis of human movement of the upper and lower limbs in healthy and pathological subjects. Since 2020, he has also been co-director of the Biomechanics Laboratory (B-LAB) at the University of Geneva, dedicated to instrumentation and cadaveric experimentation for the evaluation of surgical medical devices (notably orthopedic implants) from a performance and safety point of view.
