Caroline Paquette

Dr. Caroline Paquette is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology & Physical Education at McGill University's Faculty of Education, where she serves as Associate Dean, Administration. She directs the Human Brain Control of Locomotion (HBCL) Laboratory, focusing on the neural mechanisms of balance and locomotion using biomechanics, neuroimaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation. Her research aims to improve mobility in older adults and neurological patients, particularly those with Parkinson's disease and post-stroke impairments.

• PhD, Rehabilitation Science, McGill University
• MSc, Kinesiology, Laval University
• BSc, Kinesiology, Laval University
• Postdoctoral Fellowships: Neurology (Lady Davis Institute) and Neuroscience (Oregon Health and Science University)

Her research spans motor control, neuroimaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation, with applications in Parkinson's disease, stroke rehabilitation, aging, and locomotor adaptation. She has published in high-impact journals like Neuroimage, Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, and Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.

Dr. Paquette's Google Scholar publications reveal expertise in:

• Freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease
• Neuroplasticity in stroke and aging
• Functional connectivity analysis
• Exercise interventions for neurodegenerative disorders
• Robotic compensation in PET imaging
• Non-invasive brain stimulation applications

She supervises graduate students at the HBCL Laboratory, located at the Education Building and Currie Gymnasium, Montreal, Canada.
