The Sheerr Gait and Motion Analysis Lab

The Sheerr Gait and Motion Analysis Lab helps physicians identify the causes of ambulation problems and helps them make recommendations for specific treatment interventions. It provides computerized data for numerous diagnostic applications including data on muscular activity during ambulation; systematic and quantitative kinetic, kinematic gait, and movement data; as well as data on the cause of dysfunction. MossRehab is the only rehabilitation facility in the Philadelphia region to have this specialized laboratory.

The Motor Control Analysis Lab

The Motor Control Analysis Laboratory at MossRehab is one of the few of its kind in the nation. This sophisticated lab analyzes muscle function and dexterity and is especially useful for patients with central nervous system disorders or brain injuries. It identifies the presence and degree of voluntary control a patient can exercise over his or her muscles and movement. For patients with central and peripheral nervous system damage, motor control analysis provides a specific basis for corrective physical, medical, and surgical therapies.
