DMC Sports Medicine is dedicated to bringing the local athletes the same expert care as we provide the professional athletes on the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings. The Detroit Medical Center has developed athlete specific screenings, backed by scientific research, to successfully identify predisposing factors of weakness or muscle imbalance which may lead to poor athletic performance and possible injury. The key to successfully conditioning an athlete is to remove all negatives in their movement before you worry about adding resistance, speed or any of the other conditioning fads that are out there. For immediate access to DMC Sports Medicine or to schedule a team or individual screening call 313-910-9328. See below for more information on the screenings that the DMC can bring to you.
Overhead Athlete Screening
The OA Screening is comprised of eight stations, staffed with DMC certified Athletic Trainers and Physical Therapists. The screening is painless and takes just minutes to complete. The stations used have been shown scientifically to successfully identify predisposing factors of weakness or muscle imbalance which may lead to poor athletic performance and possible injury.
Female ACL Screening
Female athletes have been tearing their anterior cruciate ligament at an alarming 8-to-1 ratio more than their male counterparts. The ACL Screening has been designed base upon scientific research to identify predisposing factors that cause ACL injuries in athletes. This screening will show muscle weakness or imbalances which can lead to injury in poor performance.
