Tomohiro Ide, MA, ATC
- Doctoral Student
- Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Lab
Additional Information
About Tomohiro
Current Program:
PhD in Biomechanics and Kinesiology
Undergraduate Degree & Institution:
B.S. in Health and Sports Science, Niigata University, 2020
Master’s Degree & Institution:
M.A. in Athletic Training, University of Nebraska at Omaha, 2022
Research Interests:
Tomo’s research centers on injury prevention in overhead athletes, particularly baseball pitchers. He investigates how humeral retroversion, shoulder range of motion, and strength interact with pitching biomechanics to influence stress on the throwing arm, especially the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow. Through the integration of ultrasonography, clinical assessments, and biomechanical analysis, his work aims to identify key adaptations and inform strategies that reduce injury risk and support sustained performance.
Personal Background:
Originally from Nagano, Japan, Tomo is a doctoral candidate in Biomechanics and Kinesiology with clinical duties as a certified athletic trainer for the UNO baseball and cross-country teams. His long-term career goal is to bridge clinical practice and research by developing individualized screening and intervention systems for the physically active population. Outside of his work and academic life, he enjoys spending time at local coffee shops and cooking.
Fun Fact:
Tomo is on the second volume of his three-year diary series, meaning he’s now in his sixth consecutive year of daily journaling.
