KIM HEBERT-LOSIER
University of Waikato
I am an expert in human movement, sports performance, injury prevention, and evidence-based practice, and I love running!
My background in physiotherapy and internationally acquired expertise in human movement and sport science drive my research outputs and interests. I work in inter-disciplinary teams and collaboratively with end-uses to provide empirical evidence to inform clinical practice in health and sport. I am a forerunner in the use of 3D motion capture outdoors, being an Invited Speaker on this topic in several countries, including Australia, Japan, and China. I am an internationally recognised contributor to research on calf muscle function, injury prevention in sport, and running biomechanics and footwear.
I have led and contributed to a range of national and international research teams as evidenced by my scholarship and research activities. I am uniquely positioned to add value within such teams given my clinical experience and vast international postdoctoral training in biomechanics and sports. Most of my research outputs stem from inter-disciplinary efforts and collaborations with practitioners and academics in health and sport, including sport organisations, government bodies, physiotherapists, medical doctors, physiologists, coaches, statisticians, trainers, and athletes. I am especially proud to have developed the Calf Raise mobile application to help clinicians and researchers better quantify heel rise test outcomes.
