Biography
Jason Bouffard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Université Laval and a researcher at Cirris. After completing his training as an occupational therapist, he pursued graduate and postdoctoral studies at Université Laval, Université de Montréal, and McGill University. His research aims to understand the facilitators and barriers to motor performance in the context of meaningful activities for people living with or without disabilities. He is particularly interested in the know how required to harness technologies, including assistive devices and feedback systems, to support physical activity and social participation. His mechanistic research also seeks to understand the effects of personal barriers, such as fatigue and pain, on the sensorimotor system.
