Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine

The Centre for Sports Medicine at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre has a wide range of high-tech equipment, which is used in conjunction with manual therapy to diagnose and treat various injuries. These assist in providing objective assessment and help to speed up the athlete’s rehabilitation process. The Centre also helps athletes to enhance performance and improve fitness levels.

Some of the specialised equipment our team uses includes:

Alter G anti-gravity treadmill

• Rehabilitation post-injury or post-surgery
• Reduce impact during plyometric and return to running process

Primus: A multi-joint dynamometer with work simulator

• Physical evaluation & rehabilitation
• Human performance testing
• Task simulation
• Restoring functional abilities

Cortex VO2max testing system

• Measurement of maximal oxygen uptake – VO2 max
• Cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) assessment
• Calculating the resting metabolic rate (RMR)

Balance assessment

The balance assessment system provides objective assessment and retraining of the sensory and voluntary motor control of balance using visual biofeedback through either a stable or unstable support surface, and in a stable or dynamic visual environment.

Gait Lab motion analysis and electromyography (EMG) system

Using a state-of-the-art motion analysis system with 13 high resolution cameras, along with an 8-channel EMG system provides our team with a clear picture of how different parts of the body interact when they are in motion. Biomechanical analysis can be carried out for every sport-specific movement as well as day to day tasks.
