Dr. Amber Murphy, PhD brings over 20 years of research and on-track experience to legal proceedings requiring expert analysis in biomechanics and sports science.

Contact Dr. Murphy

Dr. Murphy is qualified as an expert witness in biomechanics and sports science. With more than two decades working with athletes at every level — from youth to Olympic competitors — she applies rigorous, peer-reviewed science to cases involving human movement, injury mechanics, sports performance, and fitness for duty. Her testimony is grounded in original research, elite athlete analysis, and the same proprietary methods used at the highest levels of competitive sport.

Expertise

Areas of expertise

Biomechanics

Analysis of human movement, force production, and mechanical loading — applied to injury causation, performance assessment, and standards of care in sport.

Sports Medicine

Expert review of sports-related injuries, return-to-play decisions, and the biomechanical factors underlying musculoskeletal conditions.

Fitness for Duty Evaluation

Assessment of an individual's physical capacity to perform specific occupational or athletic demands, based on biomechanical and physiological criteria.

Sprint & Movement Mechanics

Specialised analysis of sprinting, hurdling, starting mechanics, acceleration, and distance running — across track and field, team sports, and winter sports.

Publication

Co-author, The Science of Speed

Dr. Murphy co-authored The Science of Speed with the late Dr. Ralph Mann, a pioneer of sport biomechanics and USA Track and Field Hall of Famer. The book translates over 30 years of research on elite athletes into a practical guide covering sprint mechanics, injury prevention, and talent identification — distilling cutting-edge science into tools coaches and athletes can use every day.
