The Shriners Hospital, Intermountain Unit in Salt Lake City, Utah has
an opening for a full-time physical therapist in our new Gait
Laboratory. This laboratory is being equipped with a six-camera VICON

interdisciplinary team approach, consisting of physicians, engineers,
therapists, kinesiologists, prosthetists and orthotists, will be
promoted.
The Intermountain Unit supports both clinical and research efforts.
Clinically, we serve patients from six intermountain states and two
Mexican provinces with the most frequent patient conditions being
cerebral palsy, myelomeningocele, scoliosis and upper and lower
limb prosthetics and orthotics. Research efforts are strengthened

between the University and Shriners Hospital is less than 2 miles).
In addition, there is potential for funding and multi-site studies
within the Shriners system.
Candidates for this position should have a professional degree in
physical therapy (advanced degree preferred) and a background in
