Functional Testing | OrthoRehab Specialists | Twin Cities Physical Therapy

Functional Movement Screen

The FMS is a series of tests that helps assess biomechanics and movement patterns. It is very helpful to figure out compensatory movement patterns. The assessment not only looks at quality of movement, but it also requires stability and mobility to work in tandem. The researched based data is useful to help create a specific home exercise program tailored to your individualized needs.

Y Balance Screen

The Y balance test is used to evaluate one’s dynamic balance and functional symmetry in order to determine one’s injury risk and/or readiness to return to sport. This evidence-based screen can be used for the lower body or the upper body. This test has a person balance on one leg and then reach as far as possible in different directions with the other leg. The test is similar for your arms.

Covid-19

Due to the difficulties presented by COVID-19, OrthoRehab would like to try and make life easier for you. We will be extending our hours of operation to 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM Monday-Friday and will now be open Saturday mornings 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Our Edina location also has the ability to treat patients outside! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Our Physical Therapists continue to treat patients at both our Minneapolis and Edina locations. Patients being seen in our clinics are either essential or have independently chosen to do so. Our commitment to providing a safe, clean, and healing environment has never been greater. For patients who do not yet feel comfortable being seen at either of our clinical locations, we are communicating and treating via a virtual connection. These virtual visits are referred to as TeleHealth. Our Physical Therapists have been providing TeleHealth visits since early March. We are confident that your Physical Therapist can offer you great value via this virtual connection.

As your Physical Therapy provider, we would like to let you know the additional measures we have taken to keep our patients and staff safe:

*Washing our hands before and after each patient encounter
*Using hospital grade disinfectant on knobs, counters, desks, chairs, exercise equipment, etc. - on the hour, every hour
*Using hospital grade disinfectant on treatment tables before and after each treatment
*All providers wear masks and encourage patients do the same
*We are taking patient temperatures when they come in and have a pulse oximeter to check oxygen levels

To further ensure the safety of all, we request that our patients use sanitizer before checking in for their appointment.

Reschedule their appointment if you have:

*Fever, chills
*Cough
*Shortness of breath
*Had confirmed or suspected contact with someone diagnosed with the coronavirus
*If you have recently gotten back from traveling out of the country
