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 help to speed up the rehabilitation process and provide objective assessment of the athlete’s condition. The Centre also helps the athletes to enhance performance and improve fitness levels.

Some of the specialised equipment include:

Alter G anti-gravity treadmill

• Rehabilitate post-injury or post-surgery
• Reduce impact during plyometric and strengthening exercises
• Complete biomechanical training – lateral, backwards and form drills.

Primus: A multi-joint dynamometer with work simulator

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

VO2max testing system

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

Balance assessment

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

Gait and Motion Lab Analysis and electromyography (EMG) system

Using a state-of-the-art Motion Lab Analysis system with 13 high resolution cameras along with 8-channel DTS (Electromyography) EMG system provides us 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.
