REHABILITATION

Figure 1: The Motion Analysis Laboratory provides state of the art quantitative strength evaluations of the upper and lower extremities.

Strength Testing - In 2004 Motion Analysis Physical Therapists conducted 112 quantitative strength assessments of the upper and or lower extremities (Fig. 1). These evaluations supported research projects from the departments of Orthopedic Surgery, Neurology, and Endrocrinology.
