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.

Our Multi-Step Approach to Owning Your Mechanics
Advanced Clinical Analysis
Receive advanced analysis of your strength, range of motion, and ultrasound imaging from our team of expert athletic trainers.
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.
State-of-the-art Biomechanical Analysis
Our elite motion-capture system will record your pitching mechanics as you throw from a force-plate instrumented pitching mound, allowing our research team to analyze movement in the most detailed fashion.
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.
Individualized Player Reports
Reports directed specifically at your movement needs will allow you to gain a complete understanding of your pitching motion and how to maximize your potential!
Our gold-standard technology creates an in-depth report designed to keep our athletes healthy and performing at their peak. Variables such as Kinematic Sequencing, Knee Flexion Angular Velocity, Pelvis and Trunk Rotation, Shoulder Abduction, and more are broken down within the report in an easy-to-understand format. Descriptions detailing what each individual movement means and how it matters to each athlete is posted within the report to allow for an easy understanding of which movements need addressing!

Our Facility
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. Pitchers will be able to throw from a pitching mound instrumented with three force plates designed to gather the forces they exert as they load over the rubber as well as within stride impact. Fourteen high-speed motion-capture cameras and slow-motion video cameras surround the pitching mound allowing for a complete analysis of joint angles and angular velocities.
