Clinical Resources
Drucker Brain Injury Center founded in 1976 by Nathaniel Mayer, MD, and endowed by Jerome J. and Sylvan W. Drucker, provides comprehensive rehabilitation
inpatient and outpatient services for people with brain injury.
The Institute for Mobility Evaluation and Treatment is a group of rehabilitation and orthopaedic specialists working together to bring the latest advances in treatment to persons
whose upper or lower extremities are impaired by brain injury, stroke, anoxia, central nervous system disorders or orthopaedic
conditions.
The Gait and Motion Analysis Lab helps physicians diagnose and correct the causes of ambulation problems. Directed by Alberto Esquenazi, MD, the gait laboratory
analyzes lower-extremity functional problems using a force platform, dynamic electromyography, and a state-of-the-art video-based
motion analysis system.
Motor Control Analysis Lab provides physicians and researchers with information on a person's muscle activity in his or her arms and hands. Directed
by Nathaniel Mayer, MD, the lab performs kinematic and electromyographic analysis of impaired upper-extremity movement in
order to design rational therapy including exercise and biofeedback programs, antispasticity interventions and surgical treatments.
Electrodiagnostic Center provides a battery of tests that analyze the central and peripheral nervous systems. These tests determine which nerve pathways
are functioning properly and which are not.
MossRehab Aphasia Center, directed by Ruth Fink, MA, CCC-SPL, is a collaborative program between MossRehab clinical therapy staff and Moss Rehabilitation
Research Institute researchers. It provides access to innovative computer-assisted therapy programs, includes socialization
opportunities for individuals with aphasia and their caregivers as well as opportunities for members to enroll in aphasia
research. It has an active mailing list of 150 families with aphasia thus providing a source of potential research subjects
living in the community.
Clinical/Research Fellowship is offered annually to a MossRehab clinician, allowing him/her to participate in an ongoing research project. The fellowship
is one method of promoting clinical/research integration, which is a goal of MRRI and MossRehab.
