Lower Extremity Assessment Protocol (LEAP)
What is LEAP?
The LEAP is a series of physical tests designed to precisely evaluate your muscle strength and performance. Our tests are highly sensitive to changes over time so you can easily track progress and customize a personalized care plan based on the results of each test. LEAP tests are administered by licensed physical therapists, athletic trainers, and trained staff using state-of-the-art equipment, advanced evaluation techniques and the most current sports medicine technology.
