VIDEO
GAMES TRANSPORT REHAB PATIENTS TO LINKS, BALLPARKS
Rehabilitation patients at the OSU Medical Center are golfing and bowling

game system to supplement their prescribed exercises. Rehabilitation professionals
recently began using the system to assist patients in working on visual and
cognitive skills, problem solving, balance, coordination, and upper- and lower-body
strength and endurance. Patients using the system typically are recovering

at Ohio State’s Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Hospital. Read

AVENUE GARAGE WEST ENTRANCE CLOSES FOR THE SEASON
