Stroke Survivors' Golf League Helps Patients Get Back Into the Swing of Things

Members of Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan (RIM) Novi Center's Stroke Support Group are getting their lives and game back on course. The group recently started a golf league for stroke survivors and their family members. Some of the golfers are ambulatory and some golf from a specialized adapted golf cart. The cart has a swivel seat that allows golfers to hit the ball from a seated or supported standing position. According to RIM Novi's social worker and case manager, Jay Devereaux, the league has provided physical and psychological benefits. "Golf is a very physical game so it is great for them to be outside and exercising and from a psychological standpoint it is a huge self-esteem builder for them to be out here and enjoying something they loved prior to their stroke."
