Gradedexercisetestsofmetabolicandcardiorespiratoryfunction.Our cardiac stress testing system (QuintonQ-Stress) is amedical grade treadmillwith integrated 12 leadECG for conducting graded exercise tests. For participants with orthopedic, peripheral vascular orneurologicallimitationsthatrestrictweightbearingexercise,wealsoofferbicycleandarmergometryasanalternativetotreadmilltesting.WeuseaCOSMEDQuarksystemforlaboratory-basedindirectcalorimetrytoassessmaximalorsubmaximaloxygenconsumptionandfuelutilizationduringsteady-stateexercise.Wecanprovide measurements of metabolic equivalents (METs), energy expenditure (kcal/min), VO2max,minuteventilation,breathbybreathventilatoryequivalents(VE/V02VE/VC02),andrespiratoryexchangeratio(RER).Forfield-basedmetabolicassessmentsweuseaCOSMEDK4b2device.Thiswirelessportablesystem enablesoxygen consumption and caloric expenditure to be conducted during field-basedassessments (e.g., duringoccupational and free living activity). Our portable system can transmit datawirelesslyupto800mandincludesanintegratedGPSsystemtoaddgeolocationinformation.

BonedensitometryandbodycompositionanalysisWe use Dual Energy x-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) for measuring bone mineral density and bodycomposition. DXAisconsideredagoldstandardfortheassessmentofbonehealth,bodyfat,andleantissuemass.OurGELunarProdigyAdvancedensitometerusesadirect-digitalarraydetectorandnarrow-anglefan-beam to enhance dose efficiency and precision in spine, hip and total body measurements.Densitometryalsoenablesvisualizationofregional,e.g.,androidvs.gynoidfatmass,andalsocalcificationintheabdominalaorta--an indicator of coronary disease and stroke risk. Clinical tests also include vertebralassessmentsassociatedwithosteoporoticfracturerisk.BalanceassessmentWeuseComputerizedDynamicPosturography(CDP)toquantifybalanceandmobilitydisordersassociatedwith falls risk. Populations of interest might include older adults, stroke, head trauma and Parkinson’spatients,aswellasindividualswithotherneurologicalpathologies.OurSMARTEquiTestsystemenablestheisolation and assessment of visual, vestibular and somatosensory inputs to static and dynamic balance.
