Rate My Professor Lewis Ingram

Dr. Lewis Ingram is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the School of Allied Health and Human Performance, College of Health, Adelaide University. He obtained his Bachelor of Physiotherapy with First Class Honours from the University of Newcastle in 2011, earning the Faculty of Health Medal for his honours research examining the association between pain and stiffness in people with chronic neck pain. Ingram completed his PhD at the University of New South Wales in 2020, where his thesis investigated upper limb sensorimotor function across the lifespan and in neurological conditions. Prior to his academic career, he owned a private practice in Sydney specializing in the management of overuse injuries in endurance-based athletes, including runners, cyclists, swimmers, and triathletes, accumulating a decade of clinical experience.

Ingram teaches in the Postgraduate Master of Advanced Clinical Physiotherapy program, coordinating courses such as Strength and Conditioning, Current Issues in Sports Physiotherapy, and Advanced Physiotherapy Practice 2 (Sports). His research focuses on upper limb sensorimotor function across the lifespan and in neurological conditions, management of overuse injuries in endurance athletes, and flexibility exercise and training. He has nine first-author peer-reviewed publications, including Mechanisms Underlying Range of Motion Improvements Following Acute and Chronic Static Stretching: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis and Multivariate Meta-regression (Sports Medicine, 2025); Optimising the Dose of Static Stretching to Improve Flexibility: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis and Multivariate Meta-regression (Sports Medicine, 2025); Use of a physiological profile to document upper limb motor impairment in ageing and in neurological conditions (The Journal of Physiology, 2023); Quantifying upper-limb motor impairment in people with multiple sclerosis: a physiological profiling approach (Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2022); Quantifying upper limb motor impairment in chronic stroke: a physiological profiling approach (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2021); The upper limb Physiological Profile Assessment: description, reliability, normative values and criterion validity (PLoS ONE, 2019); Proprioceptive measurements of perceived hand position using pointing and verbal localisation tasks (PLoS ONE, 2019); and Comparison of cervical spine stiffness in individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain and asymptomatic individuals (Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2015). Ingram supervises one PhD student, five Master of Research students, and two honours students, presents at national and international conferences, and is a member of the Steering Committee for the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA) Research Centre.
