Biography

Mr. Soucy is entering his third year in a visiting role for the Sports Medicine department. His research has been primarily related to lower extremity function during locomotion. Specifically, Mr. Soucy focuses on muscular function and kinematics of the lower extremity. More recently, Mr. Soucy has been ventured towards shoulder muscle activation, and how that activation relates to a population of musicians. In addition to teaching responsibilities, Mr. Soucy is in charge of overseeing all projects conducted in the Biomechanics Lab at Pepperdine.
