Shauna M. Fox, writing for Advance for OT, discovered a program run by Jena Munson provides the equipment and instruction on adaptive techniques to get clients golfing again. "Rehab can go from not being able to pick up the golf tee to actually playing a round of golf," Munson said. In this report, therapists have broken down rehabilitation for their clients into smaller steps that allow them to gain fine- and gross-motor control, balance and endurance. The biggest benefit, however, may be regaining self-esteem. And for many whose favorite leisure activity is a "social" round of 18 holes, they get to participate with friends and family. Adaptive golf isn't easily accomplished, however, without some modifications in equipment. Recently, some courses have been able to provide single-rider golf carts funded by grants received through the USGA. In addition, companies are making golf clubs that allow golfers "to hit more accurately from a seated position." Therapists can help local programs get started by: • Researching available resources • Suggesting golf as a leisure activity to clients • Getting collaboration from golf and other professionals • Attending adaptive sports workshops Source: Fox, Shauna M., "Adaptive Golf as a Therapeutic Tool Improving Quality of Life."
