Dr. Hauck has been an instructor at MRU since 2014 teaching courses in GNED, BIOL, PHYL, and HPED. She is interested in age-related changes that affect balance and mobility. Her research in psychomotor behaviour is focused on fall prediction and prevention in older individuals, combining knowledge and techniques from the fields of neuroscience, biomechanics, physiology, motor learning, and psychology.
