ARCH: Adaptive Recreation for Childhood Health
The ARCH program has been getting kids outdoors, and exploring the mountain on skis and snowboards for decades. Fellows have an opportunity to volunteer for this program. Dr. Wendy Pierce ('11) served as a bus chaperone and still volunteers with ARCH. Drs. Stephanie Tow ('19) and Cosmo Kwok ('20) volunteered for 2 years as instructors in the program.
Center for Gait & Movement Analysis
Gait Lab data reviews occur weekly on Tuesday mornings. During these sessions, there are multidisciplinary reviews of the data with discussion about the clinical, surgical, rehabilitation and orthotic recommendations. The sessions are attended by 2 Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine faculty, 2-3 orthopedic surgeons, 1-2 PTs, 1-2 orthotists, and engineers. There are robust research opportunities involving the data from the CGMA.
