Sports / Return to Play Testing

  • How do you know it’s time to head back to sport?!
    • Isokinetic testing – Isokinetic testing is considered to be the “Gold Standard” for dynamometry and strength testing for accurate and timely return to play. This game changing high-tech piece of equipment allows our trained clinicians to obtain limb symmetry values and see exactly where athletes are in the continuum of returning to sport.
    • Force Plate Testing – Allows the rehab staff to assess patient:
      • Strength
      • **Rate of force development (RFD)**
      • Asymmetry
      • Vertical Jump
      • Ground Force Reactions
      • Balance
    • Indoor Turf Facility – Allows for testing of:
      • Speed
      • Agility
      • Power
      • Deceleration
  • Can you participate in Sports / Return to play testing even though you aren’t yet a patient at CPTAF?
    • Absolutely! This is considered a cash-based service that is $150.
    • The rehab staff will interpret the specific data from isokinetic, force plates, and movement and compile it into a consumer-friendly report for family and orthopedic surgeons and even make physical recommendations based on these findings.
    • Note that this service is provided at no additional charge for CPTAF patients at a monthly frequency.

  • Various head-turning techniques for treatment (Epley maneuver)
  • Proper exercise selection targeting the source of vertigo (somatosensory, vestibular, or visual system)
  • Guidance with precautions after Epley maneuver

There aren’t a lot of options for vertigo treatment, so we are glad to offer this service. Common patients would include any/everyone with dizziness/vertigo. Ages ranges from childhood to late adulthood, but most cases seen are 25 and higher.

Parkinson’s Disease Experts

What to expect?

  • Highlight of the LSVT “Big” Gold Standard for PD treatment
  • Proper staging of PD and setting up a support system
