Dre Murielle Grangeon, PhD, Kin,
Founder and Certified Administrator
Dr. Murielle Grangeon, PhD, kinesiologist, is the founder of Neuro-Concept. She holds a PhD in the science and techniques of physical activities – Neurophysiology from the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School of Health Sciences at Lyon 1 University, France. She also earned a Master’s degree in Technology, Health, and Sport in France, as well as a Master’s degree in Motor Learning. She completed her postdoctoral studies focusing on posture and locomotion, as well as the use of functional electrical stimulation in neurological patients at the School of Rehabilitation, University of Medicine, Montreal. With over 20 years of experience working with neurological patients in Quebec and Europe, she has a particular interest in spinal cord injury and stroke patients.
The use of robotics and functional electrical stimulation as tools for adapted physical activity motivates her research projects and led to the creation of NeuroTeQ, the research and development department of Neuro-Concept, in 2020.
Her work and clinical research interests in the field of physical activity and rehabilitation allow her to analyze practice modalities worldwide and bring back what she finds most relevant to the Neuro-Concept center to care for clients. Also a recognized professor in Europe, she has continued her involvement in training future generations in Quebec at the university level (UQAM) and in continuing education for healthcare professionals. For Murielle, access to quality education and the training of future generations are essential to addressing societal challenges. This is why she is heavily involved in the training of healthcare professionals working with neurological patients. As the Clinical Director for North America at Reha Technology, she trains healthcare professionals in the USA and Canada, helping them integrate technologies into their clinical practice and better understand the importance of interdisciplinary and intra-disciplinary collaboration in healthcare.
Her expertise in integrating technologies into healthcare is recognized worldwide, and Murielle is frequently sought after in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond to optimize healthcare practices and bring new perspectives. She participates in many business and research projects, some of which have been highlighted and awarded. As a strong leader, she has successfully transferred the company’s values to her team and shares her knowledge for the benefit of the clients. For her, working in a multidisciplinary team is essential when caring for neurological patients. This is why, at the Neuro-Concept center, clients are treated by a team rather than a single therapist, benefiting from the complementary expertise of various professionals.
Murielle stopped accepting patients in November 2022 to focus on the administration of Neuro-Concept and NeuroTeQ, the coordination of care, research, and training future professionals. However, her expertise is regularly requested by healthcare professionals in clinical cases, and she remains a mentor to the therapists at Neuro-Concept as well as to trainees.
