Biomechanics Pitching Lab
Biomechanics Pitching Lab
Using the leading technology in the field, this multi-step assessment will help you further understand your pitching delivery. After your evaluation, our team of movement experts will provide a detailed clinical and biomechanical analysis that can be used to develop a customized training program targeted at addressing the specific needs of each athlete.

Biomechanical Analysis
Dr. Knarr and his team will record each pitcher during a bullpen session using state-of-the-art motion capture cameras surrounding the force-plate instrumented pitching mound. This data will provide critical information as to how the athlete moves during the throwing motion. This assessment will spotlight movement inefficiencies that the athlete should address in order to maximize pitching delivery efficiency all while helping to prevent injury. Our team of biomechanists alongside our certified athletic trainer will analyze all data collected to develop a training program specific to the athlete. This program will then be taken by the athlete and given to their coaching staff to help put their program into motion. Our goal is to help every player move as efficiently as possible, keeping them healthy and performing at their best.
Clinical Analysis
Dr. Rosen and his team of athletic trainers will bring each athlete through a series of clinical tests assessing their movement. Shoulder range of motion will be measured to examine the athlete’s total external/internal range of motion in their throwing and non-throwing arms. Shoulder strength will be measured through a state-of-the-art clinical device designed to measure the precise force an athlete exerts against it as they perform a series of shoulder rotations. Scapular Dyskinesis will examine how the scapula sits and rotates as our team of ATs take each athlete through a series of short exercises. Lastly, UCL ultrasound will examine the spacing between the elbow bones as it has been found to be an indicator of stress on the UCL.
The Pitching Lab
The Omaha Pitching Lab is located on the lower level of the Biomechanics Research Building of the University of Nebraska Omaha campus. It features fourteen high-speed motion capture cameras and slow-motion video cameras and three research-grade force plates instrumented within the pitching mound. Together, this gold-standard technology creates an in-depth report designed to keep our athletes healthy and performing at their peak. What does our biomechanics report look like?
