It specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals with sports-related injuries, as well as the training and conditioning of competitive and recreational athletes. The staff is also involved with educational programs for athletic trainers and coaches in the community, and with research studies in knee biomechanics and knee ligament injuries. A fully equipped and staffed gait and kinesiology laboratory is also available through this service for thorough computer analysis of gait and motion problems.
