Accupower and 3PQ
Force measurements are generally used to determine if someone can return to work or recreational activities. Most force measurements are performed in a position that does not mimic the working or athletic posture. Force plate technology provides the ability to test in a working and athletic posture, thus creating the most accurate method of testing the lower extremity and core musculature. Both the 3PQ and the Accupower utilize force plate technology as its measuring device. If you desire the most functional test to determine if you are ready to return to work or play, request the 3PQ or Accupower test. For more information.
Amputee Therapy
Learning how to use your new artificial extremity can be difficult both physically and emotionally. Your therapist must understand how your artificial limb functions and how your body will adapt to the artificial limb. The emphasis of this therapy is to assure the proper fit and function of your new limb while you participate in daily activities. For more information.

Biomechanical Assessments (Video Analysis)
