The Center for Gait and Movement Analysis

Resources For Physical Therapists

The Center for Gait and Movement Analysis (CGMA) has developed, in conjunction with the Physical Therapy Department at The Children’s Hospital, a set of protocols for patients’ postoperative care. We feel it is important for the promotion of quality care to provide each physical therapist and each patient with post surgery rehabilitation guidelines to optimize the outcome of their surgeries.

Keep in mind that these are only guidelines. Please continue to use your best clinical judgement, and call the referring physician if any unusual symptoms occur.
