Dr Dominic Thewlis works in the field of biomechanics (the application of mechanics to understand biological phenomena), specifically orthopaedic (our bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments) biomechanics. He is recognised as an emerging leader in the field with awards from the International Society of Biomechanics (footwear biomechanics group), International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics community, Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society, and the ORS (USA). He is the current President of the Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society, and editorial board member for the Journal of Biomechanics and Gait and Posture (two of the highest ranked journals in biomechanics). He currently leads a group of 12 people working in biomechanics with highly productive collaborations with 9 national and 4 leading international groups.
He has made significant contributions in to our understanding of how mechanical loading can influence the out come of complex orthopaedic surgeries (e.g. fracture repair, knee replacement and hip replacement) using a novel combination of experimental and computational methods to model the human musculoskeletal system. He has also used these techniques to gain new insight into the progression of some musculoskeletal diseases.
He currently coordinates two large undergraduate courses in biomechanics for students on the Human Movement degree program.

My current research focuses on understanding the role of mechanics in musculoskeletal disease, musculoskeletal injuries and treatment (surgical) for musculoskeletal injuries. I am currently focused on:

(i) the recovery of patients following fracture of cancellous bone;

(ii) optimising the outcomes for total hip replacement surgery 

(iii) the role of subchondral bone in knee osteoarthritis;

(iv) improving running performance and biomechanics while minimising injury risk;

(v) simulating vehicle transit to understand the role of vibration on physical performance of military personnel;

(vi) developing new biomechanical modelling methods.

I use a combination of experimental and computational (simulation) methods to explore these phenomena.
