About me
John Arnold is a Senior Research Fellow supported by an NHMRC Fellowship working with IIMPACT in Health and the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition & Activity (ARENA) at the University of South Australia. From 2017-2019 he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Leeds in the Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine and NIHR Biomedical Research Centre.
His main area of research focus is the clinical biomechanics and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular interest in osteoarthritis and joint replacement. His other research stream is performance enhancement and injury prevention, in groups ranging from recreational to elite athletes. John has skills in clinical and biomechanical laboratory-based studies using techniques such as 3D motion analysis, computational modelling & MRI, to involvement in large scale epidemiological analyses and systematic reviews.
John has published his work extensively and regularly presents his work at international and national conferences. He has been selected for multiple awards for his research, including from the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (Young Tall Poppy) and the Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society. He regularly collaborates with industry, clinicians and research groups in the U.S., Europe and the UK.
