MORE THAN JUST GOLF | THE TOURNAMENT

to increase independent living skills, build confidence and
develop self-esteem. In addition, our staff works with the
patient’s family members to help them understand the social and
emotional implications of a spinal cord injury to help ensure the
best possible outcome for the child, including the ability to lead a
full, productive life

Cleft Lip and Palate
At Shriners Children’s, patients with a cleft lip and/or palate are
treated by an experienced multidisciplinary care team that works
to improve patients’ ability to eat, breathe and communicate, as
well as enhance appearance and increase self-esteem. Shriners
Children’s is committed to improving care for children with this
condition through a comprehensive, coordinated program of
clinical excellence, education and research. Our teams also
provide care for a range of craniofacial conditions.

Technology and Innovation
Shriners Children’s uses some of the latest technology to help
patients recover to the fullest extent possible. In addition, our
medical teams work to develop new treatments that help improve
the lives of our patients. Here are a few examples:

Motion Analysis Centers
Shriners Children’s is an internationally recognized leader in
clinical motion analysis. In our motion analysis centers, high-
speed cameras, reflective markers, force platforms and muscle
sensors are used to record, measure and evaluate how a child
with a mobility impairment – such as those caused by cerebral
palsy, scoliosis or spinal cord injury – actually moves. The data
helps our care providers understand the interactions between
muscles, joints and bones. Our orthopedic surgeons, physical
therapists, kinesiolosgists and biomedical engineers work
together to interpret, analyze and assess the data to create the
most effective treatment plan for each patient.

Our motion analysis centers offer unparalleled opportunities for
both patient care and research. The sophisticated technology
provides data that informs patient care and improves outcomes.
The information also helps researchers gain understanding of
human movement and gait patterns and make discoveries that can
lead to improved treatment protocols.

EOS
Several of our locations offer EOS Imaging Systems. This
Nobel Prize-winning technology produces life-size, whole-body
images in 2D or 3D, with up to 85% less radiation compared to
conventional X-rays. The system can capture images of patients
standing or sitting, which is important because these weight-
bearing positions reveal a patient’s natural posture and allow
physicians to analyze the interactions between bones, joints and
ligaments from different angles.
