VT cares about having the Big East's most prolific scorer healthy. The cool part is that they are using a computerized knee brace to help bring him back to full speed." As the tools available to medical rehabilition improve, what other advances can we expect in the near future?

    I found a link to another description of the brace here. It seems like a pretty cool little toy for doing this sort of rehab. I'd much rather have this than a woman yelling at my face that I can lift my leg, I just have to try harder.
