Mark Halaki

Mark has a background in mechanical and biomedical engineering with research interests in electromyographic and biomechanical studies in the area of motor control. The primary focus of Mark’s research is the study of the control of movements in healthy people and people with pathology. With injury and pathology, movement control is disturbed, resulting in pain or inability to move. By understanding differences in movement and muscle coordination between healthy people and people with pathology, our ability to treat patients with pathology is enhanced. His main research area is studying these differences with the ultimate goal of identifying methods, validated using large randomised control studies, of preventing and treating injuries effectively.
