Research The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine is active in the latest research intended on improving the health and performance of our patients. Our research has been widely published and we have developed Brooklyn's only biomechanics lab. In order to maximize athletic performance, perform postsurgical functional testing, research into prosthetics and orthotics, and evaluating treatment protocols for children with neuromuscular diseases, we have created a state of the art human performance laboratory. Continuing our strong commitment to the borough of Brooklyn, we are also involved in conducting research on conditions that specifically plague our community, including asthma and hypertension. Outreach University Orthopaedic Associates is proud of our sports medicine outreach program; the only one of it's kind in the borough.

Whether it's a health fair in Borough Park, a father/son basketball game in Tompkins Park, or a rugby tournament in the Rockaways, University Sports Medicine will be present. University Sports Medicine offers a wide range of services from pre-participation physicals, on-field event coverage, medical services for injured athletes, arthroscopic surgery, injury clinics, and rehabilitative services. In addition, through our wellness program, A Healthy Downstate, University Sports Medicine provides medical education and wellness programs throughout the year.
