Biography

Dr. Max R. Paquette earned a Bachelors Degree in Human Kinetics and a Masters Degree in Biomechanics under the guidance of Dr. Lori Ann Vallis from The University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada). He completed his PhD training under the guidance of Dr. Songning Zhang at The University of Tennessee in the area of Biomechanics. He is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Health Studies at The University of Memphis, and Director of the Musculoskeletal Analysis Laboratory (MAL). Dr. Paquette’s research interests are largely focused on lower limb joint mechanics with regards to injury and musculoskeletal disease prevention. His primary research interests are focused on the effects of different footwear, fatigue/repetition, altered techniques and training interventions for injury prevention and performance improvement in runners. Dr. Paquette's research also focuses on the effects of exercise interventions and gait modifications on joint mechanics, function and, quality of life in obese, aging and osteoarthritic populations. For more information visit the Musculoskeletal Analysis Laboratory website. Dr. Paquette actively collaborates with researchers from other institutions within the US and around the World. He is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Society for Biomechanics. Dr. Paquette has consulted with high school, collegiate and World-class track and field athletes and their coaches to optimize performance and reduce injury risks.
