LinkAbout this episode
The majority of us wake up in the morning, get out of bed, and go about our day never thinking about how we move. But for Dr. Nick Stergiou and his visionary team at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, biomechanics—the study of human movement and the forces that produce it—is all they research.
UNO is home to the first center in the world dedicated exclusively to researching human movement. The center’s projects lead to groundbreaking innovations and improved quality of life—like reducing falls among patients with Parkinson’s disease or helping children with congenital defects through prosthetic limbs. It’s also attracted millions of dollars in funding from the National Institutes of Health.
In this episode of Leading Nebraska, we take a deeper dive into how Stergiou helped advance UNO to the top of list when it comes to biomechanics research.
