 WE BUILT AN ENTIRE BUILDING FOR
PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO SAY "HEY, WATCH THIS!"


The Orthopaedic Ingtitute at UF&Shands is one of the premier facilities of its kind in the
nation. Not only do we have an outstanding team of top UF orthopaedic physicians, we
are now home to the Human Motion Lab. Here. specialists use a motion capture system
comparable to that used by major animation studios to analyze a patient's gait and more
accurately diagnose orthopaedic problems. The results are more effective treatment
and shorter recovery times. With this kind of leading edge technology, perhaps we
should be the ones saying "Hey. watch this!" trhe SCIENCE of HOPE
