Adaptive device for the quadriplegic golfer. |
Gordon S, Levier D, Sachse R, Burrer G. |
Participation in sports by the individual having quadriplegia is often limited because of the loss of use of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the hand. An adaptive device has been developed to enable quadriplegic patients to participate in a golf program. It consists of a molded forearm cuff of Kydex thermoplastic, to which a golf club is attached by several clamps and a golf glove altered by sewing velcro pile to the tips of all fingers and to the back of the glove. These have provided stability to the golfer's grip of the club, and have made it possible for quadriplegic patients to play successfully on the Par 3 golf course at the Medical Center. |

Death during recreational exercise in the State of Rhode Island. |
Ragosta M, Crabtree J, Sturner WQ, Thompson PD. |
From January 1, 1975 to May 1, 1982, 81 individuals died during or immediately after recreational exercise in the State of Rhode Island. Deaths occurred during a variety of activities, but the majority of deaths occurred during golf (23%), jogging (20%), and swimming (11%). Atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (ASHD) was the presumed cause of 88% of the deaths, primarily in subjects over age 29 with known cardiac abnormalities. Only 7% of ASHD victims had no relevant medical history or ASHD risk factors and were considered healthy by their families and physicians. In contrast, deaths in young subjects were rarely associated with ASHD or prior knowledge of cardiovascular disease. Only six deaths in individuals aged 29 or younger occurred during the study period. These deaths were associated with congenital cardiovascular disease (N = 2), valvular heart disease (N = 1), hemorrhagic gastritis (N = 1), idiopathic myocardial hypertrophy (N = 1), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with ASHD (N = 1). A diagnosis was made before death only in the individual with valvular disease. We conclude that death during recreational exercise is predominantly due to ASHD and occurs in men with recogniz |

Flock K, Gradinger R, Opitz G, Hipp E. |
Although golf is an ideal form of exercise for all age groups, complete mastery of the specific movements involved is a prerequisite. The typical golfing injuries and and pathological sequelae are usually the results of faulty driving and hitting techniques. Apart from golfer's shoulder and golfer's elbow, complaints affecting the lumber spine predominate. |
