[S-20-5]Rehabilitative treatment for axial symptoms in Parkinson's disease
Margaret Kit Yi Mak (Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
Prof. Mak is currently an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She graduated as a physiotherapist and obtained her PhD from Curtin University of Technology, Australia. Her research focuses on rehabilitation of people with Parkinson’s disease. Based on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying balance and functional problems, she has developed innovative fall prevention programs with the use of augmented audio-visual cues, technology-assisted training, and added cognitive and motor tasks. Prof. Mak also applied non-invasive brain stimulation to augment the effect of gait training and to examine the neurophysiological mechanism underlying gait freezing. Prof. Mak serves on the Physiotherapists Board of Hong Kong and is the council member of the Hong Kong Parkinson’s disease Foundation.
