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.
