The Leon Root, M.D. Motion Analysis Laboratory reviews and analyzes movement and muscle patterns for research and clinical purposes. One of only 40 in the country, this laboratory performs comprehensive evaluations of a patient's structure with computerized measurements of their function during activities of daily living. The laboratory provides services to individuals of all ages with orthopedic, rheumatic, and neurological diagnoses. The Analysis Laboratory often sees patients who have sought help from several healthcare professionals and still do not have a clear understanding of their injury or source of functional limitation. Patients also seek motion analysis when expert knowledge is needed to plan sophisticated surgical treatments. Learn more about the HSS Leon Root, M.D. Motion Analysis Laboratory.
