Brian A. Knarr

Brian A. Knarr serves as an Associate Professor in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, holding key leadership positions including Core Director of the Machining and Prototyping Core (MAPRO), Co-Director of the Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Lab (which encompasses the UNO Pitching Lab), and Assistant Director of the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability.

His research expertise spans biomechanics with a focus on neuromuscular rehabilitation and sports injury prevention, specifically targeting post-stroke recovery and athletic performance enhancement. He employs integrated clinical, experimental, and computational methodologies to improve movement variability and rehabilitation outcomes for both clinical populations and athletes across age groups.

Through the Machining and Prototyping Core, Knarr directs the development of custom research devices and systems supporting the broader University of Nebraska system, while his Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Lab conducts applied research on human movement dynamics in sports and rehabilitation contexts.
