Associate Professor Paul Hodges
BPhty(Hons) MedDr(Neurosci) PhD, NHMRC Senior Research Fellow
Research interests: Physiology and pathophysiology
of movement control mechanisms. Integration of neuroscience and biomechanics
to investigate the nervous system control of joint stability and movement.
Key areas include investigation of; effect of conflicting task demands
control on spinal control, biomechanical effect of contraction of the
intrinsic spinal muscles on stability of the spine, the effect of pain
on motor control and possible mechanisms, mechanism of efficacy of therapeutic
exercise.
Teaching interests: Application of motor control
and motor learning to musculoskeletal physiotherapy, research methods
and design, electromyography, respiratory muscle physiology, principles
of therapeutic exercise for management of spinal pain.
