Electrocardiogram EKG testing examines for overall heart
function to make sure your cardiovascular system is able to
handle active exercise with our physical therapy team.
Maximal Forced Expiration / Spirometry Maximal forced
expiration testing assesses an important parameter of lung function:
the amount of air you can release from your lungs in one breath.
This helps assure us that your lung function is able to handle
active exercise with our physical therapy team.
Bone density / Osteoporosis screening Bone density testing
assesses for risk factors associated with osteoporosis. We measure
bone density and compare your density to normalized statistics
to determine your level of risk of osteoporotic fracture.
Nerve Conduction Velocity Nerve Conduction Tests are
ordered to learn more about the health of peripheral nerves.
Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing measures the speed of
conduction of impulses through a nerve. This test is used to
diagnose nerve damage or dysfunction. These tests can establish
if a nerve is compressed, and give a numeric value to how severely
it is compressed and often where it is compressed. The test
can last anywhere from a half an hour to an hour.
Radiographs / X-ray Use to rule out fractures, gross
pathology and to assess for structural or postural abnormalities
that may be a source our your current pain.
Range of motion A study used to determine your level
of functional impairmentand used as a measuring stick for successful
return to function after comprehensive treatment.
