Cadence Analysis: $100.00
30 minutes on Computrainer or Trainer with Sports Motion software: Dr. Lotus and Shawn Eno, C.Ped will analyze cadence, interpret results and make modification to shoe and discuss lower kinetic chain functional pathologies. The appropriateness of a custom orthotic will be discussed.
Bio-impedence Analysis: $25.00:
Dr. Sirchio will analyze results in detail
VO-2 Max Testing: $67.50 for 1st-timers, $50 for repeat testers.
$50 VO2 mask purchase is required for 1st time testers

You may also contact Dr. Sirchio so she can write a script for blood work to be completed, or if blood work has been done in the last 60 days, these results can be used. Come in and have BIA completed.
The results of the blood work and BIA are critical factors in performance. They give the cyclist/athlete information on the cellular level in which nutrition and supplementation can be discussed to heighten performance. The cost for this analysis $80.
The next step is to have Dr. Lotus and Shawn Eno, C.Pedorthist analyze cadence on the Computrainer. This will give heart rate, RPM, Watts out and firing patterns of the cadence. Dr. Lotus and Shawn Eno will also be looking at static functional pathologies of the foot, leg and knee. This too will be analyzed in great detail and an explanation of muscle recruitment will be discussed relating to the pathology. If changes can be made onsite, they will be done and then the cyclist will be re-analyzed. The computrainer also gives Dr. Lotus an insight to weak/neurologically inhibited muscles that can be addressed during the off season. Recent Surface EMG studies have supplied us with proper muscle recruitment during the cadence; knowing the weak link is crucial to performance.
