Biography

Dr. Landin has been a member of the Kinesiology faculty at LSU for over 20 years. His teaching responsibilities center on human anatomy and he is the coordinator of the anatomy curriculum.  The specific classes he teaches are Human Anatomy lecture, Neuromotor Control of Human Movement, Cadaver Prosection, Cadaver Dissection, and Anatomy and Functional Impairment.  He has received a variety of teaching awards, most of which have been initiated by students in the School. Landin’s research follows two tracks, musculoskeletal dynamics and clinic anatomy, which focus on both normal and injured populations. His graduate students are either certified athletic trainers (ATC), physical therapists or hold licensure in both disciplines.  He is an active member of the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Athletic Training Association (as a research affiliate), and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance in which he is a Fellow of the Research Consortium.
