Dr Martin B Warner BSc, MSc, PhD

Lecturer in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

Dr Martin Warner has a background in Sport and Exercise Science with a focus on biomechanics.

Physical activity is important to remain healthy, but it’s important to exercise in the right way to prevent injury.

Dr Martin Warner is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy in the School of Health Science, University of Southampton. Martin has a background in Sport and Exercise Science with a focus on biomechanics. Martin’s research experience involves understanding the biomechanical mechanisms of joint dysfunction, specifically the upper limb and shoulder in sport and physical activity. He is currently a board member of the International Shoulder Group, a technical group of the International Society of Biomechanics.

The aim of Martin’s current research is to examine the biomechanical mechanisms that lead to the development of osteoarthritis as a result of injury through sport and physical activity, building on the work undertaken in his role as Senior Research Fellow in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics within the Centre for Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis funded by Versus Arthritis. Specifically, his work involves investigating the effect of sport and physical activity on the shoulders and arms of disability athletes, through to understanding hip pain and impingement in physically active individuals. Martin’s has expertise in using motion analysis and biomechanical modelling techniques, which involves the development and validation of measurement protocols and biomechanical models to understand human function and movement.
