Motion Analysis Center
When children have walking problems, their muscles and joints work together differently than those in children with normal walking patterns. Therefore, physicians and therapists cannot rely simple on what they see on the outside when treating these children. Three-dimensional motion analysis is a tool that doctors use along with other tests to prescribe the best treatment.St. Joseph's Children's Hospital has the only Motion Analysis Center in the Tampa Bay area.
Referrals for sessions are made by physicians and are targeted to the patient's individual needs.
