Steadman Philippon Research Institute

Biomedical engineering (bme) is a multidisciplinary laboratory which applies quantitative, analytical, and integrative methods to the field of orthopaedic medicine. The multitalented research staff integrates clinical care, research, and education with the resources of world-renowned medical doctors in order to improve the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. This focused approach is designed to maintain and enhance athletic performance, health, and quality of life for the professional, semi-professional, collegiate, high school and the recreationally active individual through an emphasis on bench-to-bedside research. See continuation on schedule o. The programs provided by the department of biomedical engineering are unique and diverse and they encompass a complete range of services for the physically active or those wishing to return to an active lifestyle after injury.

The center for outcomes-based orthopaedic research (coor) pursues patient-centered outcomes research, which has been defined as the study of the end results of medical treatment, which is intended to provide scientific evidence to support patient and physician decisions regarding medical treatment. The institute's outcomes research is based on physician/patient assessment of improvement in function, quality of life and patient satisfaction. Outcomes research provides a tool to link the patient's perspective to the effectiveness of health treatment. This allows for increased participation by patients in the decision-making process regarding the kind of care they desire. Our goal in coor is to learn from patients and validate treatment protocols in an effort to improve the quality of health care for every patient.
