Abstract 报告摘要
Musculoskeletal disease contributes to approximately 8% of the direct costs of global
healthcare. As the life expectancy of the worldwide population continues to increase, the
demand these diseases will place on society will grow substantially. We must therefore look to
multifaceted approaches explain how we can minimise the effect of disease, and maximise
recovery from trauma, to promote a healthy musculoskeletal system. The primary goal of this
talk will be to explore how biomechanics can regulate physiological processes associated with
disease and recovery.
Recent studies at the University of South Australia have provided new insight into
conditions such as arthrosis of the wrist, knee osteoarthritis and fracture healing mechanisms.
This presentation will explore how and combination computational and experimental
methods can provide insight into the role of mechanics in musculoskeletal disease.
ShortBio 报告人简介
Dominic Thewlis is a Senior Lecturer at the University of
South Australia. He graduated with a PhD in orthopaedic
biomechanics in 2009. He has published 30 peer‐reviewed
journal papers and 55 peer‐reviewed conference papers. He is
the current Secretary, and President elect, for the Australian &
New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society. His lab’s research

surrounding them. His work integrates data‐rich medical
imaging methods to generate subject‐specific musculoskeletal
and finite element models of the human body. The long‐term
goal of his research is to reverse engineer the role mechanics
play in degenerative disease and trauma recovery.
