Using a variety of in vitro and in vivo laboratory techniques and medical imaging modalities, Dr Jones studies the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems in normal, diseased and injured states. A better understanding of such biomechanics contributes to improved disease and injury prevention strategies, diagnostic tests and conservative and surgical treatments. Dr Jones' research primarily focuses on orthopaedic and injury biomechanics of the spine and spinal cord, as well as upper and lower limb biomechanics and associated orthopaedic devices. She has expertise in the development of pre-clinical and cadaver models for neurotrauma, neurofluids, injury biomechanics and orthopaedics research.
The shared facility developed by Dr Jones is equipped with an Instron 8874 and 5543 materials testing machines, custom Drop Tower, Optotrak Certus motion capture system, Phantom and Olympus high speed camera systems, National Instruments signal conditioning and data acquisition systems, pressure transducers (Gaeltec & FISO), various accelerometers and angular rate sensors, 3D printer, Wacom tablet monitor, digital x-ray and cadaver preparation facilities. The laboratory also has access to microCT, DEXA, pQCT, clinical imaging facilities, and pre-clinical surgical and imaging facilities. The research group also has expertise in hard (osteo) tissue and implant histology.
The laboratory has active collaborations with researchers and clinicians from various schools at the University of Adelaide, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Basil Hetzel Institute, SAHMRI, UniSA, Flinders University, University of Ottawa, University of British Columbia, University of Zurich, Balgrist University Hospital, and Arts de Metiers, Paris.
Current areas of research:
Neurofluids dynamics (pre-clinical models and patient cohorts)
