Biography
Prof. Mak graduated as a physiotherapist and obtained her PhD from Curtin University of Technology, Australia. Her research focuses on neurological rehabilitation, with special emphasis on Parkinson’s disease. Using augmented technology-assisted training and blended motor-cognitive training paradigm, she has developed an innovative fall-prevention programme. She has also been conducting research into neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the positive effects of physiotherapy treatment in people with Parkinson’s disease and the application of non-invasive stimulation in Parkinson’s disease.
In recognition of her innovative teaching methods such as blended e-learning and simulated based learning, Prof. Mak was honoured with the Departmental outstanding teaching award in 2015 and Faculty teaching prize in 2016. Equally dedicated in her professional contributions, she has been serving as an appointed chief examiner of Board of Examiners for Physiotherapists Full Registration Examination, and a council member of both the Hong Kong Parkinson’s Disease Foundation and Hong Kong Movement Disorder Society.
