Performance Evaluation
Today’s athletes break records once considered untouchable. The staff at the Roger Clemens Institute works with you to increase your strength, speed, agility, flexibility, coordination, cardiovascular endurance and overall conditioning.
Our physical therapists and athletic trainers will work with you to determine the right combination of the following evaluations to measure your performance capabilities:
- VO2 Max
- Anaerobic Threshold (AT)
- Body Composition Analysis
- Biomechanical/Gait Analysis
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
- Flexibility Assessment
- Nutritional Assessment and Consultation
Information collected from each of these tests is input into a specially designed computer program to produce a complete exercise plan customized to your personal performance goals.
A highlight of our new facility is our Performance Evaluation Lab, which is used to test the mechanics of athletic movement. The real-time motion-capture system allows experts to evaluate and determine the most appropriate therapy or conditioning regimen. Advanced equipment includes a video camera with visual marker-positioning capability for accurate assessment and an infrared camera that uses strategically positioned reflectors to analyze motion.
 All-star Treatment
State-of-the-art facilities include two Signature Suites for evaluation, treatment and diagnosis. Each has a private entrance, separate examination room area and private bathroom with shower. The suites are well appointed and spacious enough to accommodate athletes and their guests.
Should you require a hospital stay, we invite you to take advantage of the Signature Services experience at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. Designed for patients who prefer hospital care in an atmosphere more commonly associated with fine hotels, our Signature Suites and Services offer attentive care in a private, healing retreat. Overnight guests are welcome: sitting areas in each suite are furnished with a sofa bed for family or friends.
An Unbeatable Team
Our medical staff members were trained in the treatment of specific joints and injuries at the nation’s top sports medicine clinics. As former athletes themselves - including an NFL player for the 1991 Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins - they understand the special needs and performance goals of athletes.
They serve as team physicians for the Houston Rockets, Houston Comets, Houston Aeros and Rice University, teams for which Memorial Hermann is the official healthcare provider, as well as the U.S. Ski Team.
At the Roger Clemens Institute you’ll also find a comprehensive program of post-injury and post-surgery orthopedic rehabilitation. Staff members include an orthopedic certified specialist who is the lead physical therapist for the Houston Rockets and Houston Comets, therapists certified by the McKenzie Institute in spine rehabilitation and four nationally certified strength and conditioning coaches.
