Occupational Related Rehab Programs
Mercy's Sports Medicine Center offers occupational related rehab programs to treat patients with injuries that occur at the workplace. In conjunction with Work Health & Safety Center provides an ideal and convenient setting for anyone in need of these services. The injured employee can literally walk from the doctor's examination room to our therapy clinic all within the same facility.
Services we provide include:
- Acute Care Therapy: The rehabilitation process of a new or "fresh" injury can dramatically be enhanced if treated immediately. This also reduces the costs associated with occupational injuries.
- Work Simulation: Our staff will work with the patient by imitating some of his or her day to day activities in order for the injured worker to return safely to the workplace.
- Physical Reconditioning: In most cases, the injured worker needs to work on regaining his or her physical strength and endurance. Progressive exercise programs are individually designed using state-of-the-art exercise and strength equipment.
- Physical Capacity Evaluation: Our staff will evaluate the patient's physical capacities and limitations as it applies to specific job requirements. This helps us determine when it is safe for an employee to return to work or we may make recommendations for job placement of the patient.
- Work-Site Evaluations: This is an on-site assessment of the job demands and physical requirements employees face. The assessment helps us recommend modifications of the workplace to the employer in order to reduce potential injury to the employee.
- ImPACT Concussion Management
Mercy Sports Medicine is the first and only in Stark County to offer ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) a sophisticated, research-based concussion management program to help health care professionals evaluate an athlete’s recovery following a concussion. - Athletic Training
An athletic trainer is often thought of as the person who rush’s to an injured athlete during a game. But Mercy’s certified athletic trainers help prevent and treat injuries for all people who are physically active. Under the direction of Mark J. Hudak, M.D., medical director of Sports Medicine, Mercy’s athletic trainers are healthcare professionals specializing in the prevention, assessment, immediate care and rehabilitation of injuries that result from physical activity.
Mercy’s athletic trainers have a bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited college or university and serve
