Background

About Chantal Groot

I am a Biomechanics and AI Research Assistant at msk.ai, a medical technology company that specializes in exercise and rehabilitation applications for marked and markerless motion capture. I have been working with msk.ai since May 2022, and I am passionate about applied biomechanics and movement compensation patterns, especially for lower extremity conditions. I hold a Master's of Research degree in Sports Biomechanics and Rehabilitation from the University of Dundee, where I received a Saltire Postgraduate Scholarship for my thesis on toe-out gait modification, intervention, and retraining as a non-invasive clinical treatment for knee osteoarthritis. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I gained experience in rehabilitation and sports research fields as an intern and a water safety instructor. I have multiple certifications in lifeguarding, first aid, CPR, AED, and emergency oxygen delivery from the American Red Cross, as well as an Exercise Physiologist certification from the American College of Sports Medicine.
