Rehabilitation
Chronic stroke patients benefit from robotic upper-limb rehabilitation,
Intense, short-term, upper-limb robotic therapy improved motor outcomes among chronic stroke patients. Investigators enrolled 30 patients with upper-limb impairment due to stroke. Over 3 weeks, 18 sessions of robot-assisted therapy were delivered with the use of a robotic exercise device. Significant improvements were observed for severely impaired participants, which indicates that improvement is not limited to individuals with moderate impairments. Moderately and severely impaired patients tolerated intense, frequent, and repetitive treatment. This information is useful for determining the optimal target population, intensity, and duration of robotic therapy and the necessary sample size for a larger trial.

THE CLUBHOUSE
• Never assume other players see you, even if you’re standing in their fairway. Wait until they hit or make sure they acknowledge your presence.
• Know where you are. If you’re on the right side of your fairway, chances are golfers coming up the adjacent hole will hit it in your direction.
• When you hear “fore,” don’t assume it’s not meant for you. Always protect yourself, even if it means backing away from the ball.
