Diagnostic Support
Neuro-orthopedic Program
The Neuro-orthopedic Program is a unique program that combines the talents and resources of MossRehab rehabilitation specialists with orthopedic specialists throughout Philadelphia. Working closely together to evaluate and jointly determine the appropriate treatment strategy for each patient, they employ reconstructive surgery and non-surgical techniques to correct spasticity, heterotopic ossification (a joint bone growth) and other restrictive limb problems. This partnership provides successful treatment results to patients who have been previously considered untreatable.
Functional Capacity Evaluation
Functional capacity evaluations offer a summative report of functional abilities or limitations based upon a patient’s performance in a three to four hour functional test. Tests include, but are not limited to lifting, balance, dexterity, reaching and stair climbing. The functional capacity evaluation assesses a patient’s ability to perform a specific task that he or she would do on the job. This test also addresses consistency and reliability of effort.
