Sadly, severe loss of movement is often the result of brain injury or other neurological disorders such as stroke, polio and
cerebral palsy. This loss of movement can make even the most ordinary of daily activities impossible to accomplish. People
affected by
spasticity, contracture and loss of mobility may not be able to walk and may live without being able to wash, dress or feed themselves. Often confined
to bed or to a wheelchair, these people need extensive care from family members and other caregivers.
The Institute for Mobility Evaluation and Treatment (IMET) brings hope to these people. IMET, a combined program of Albert
Einstein Center for Orthopaedic Sciences and MossRehab, offers compassionate care, unmatched diagnostics and advanced treatments
to help people regain some measure of independence. Click a link below to learn more.
