Professor of Integrative Physiology

Dr. Roger M. Enoka is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he has been a faculty member since 1996. He completed his undergraduate training in physical education at the University of Otago in New Zealand before earning an MS in biomechanics and a Ph.D. in kinesiology from the University of Washington. Dr. Enoka has held various academic positions, including faculty roles at the University of Arizona and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and has contributed significantly to the field of neuromuscular physiology.His research focuses on understanding the neuromuscular determinants of motor function in both health and disease, with current investigations examining age-related adaptations in neuromuscular properties and their impact on manual dexterity and walking performance. Additionally, Dr. Enoka explores the potential benefits of electrical stimulation treatments for improving mobility in individuals with multiple sclerosis. He teaches courses such as "Fundamental Neural Pathways For Movement," "Movement Capabilities Depend on Neuromuscular Properties," and "Movements Are Controlled By Muscle Forces," providing students with insights into the complexities of human movement and motor control.Dr. Enoka's extensive publication record includes numerous articles and influential research contributions, making him a prominent figure in the study of biomechanics and motor function. His work not only advances academic knowledge but also has practical implications for rehabilitation and improving quality of life for individuals with movement disorders.
