Virginia Tech Uses Computerized Knee Brace for Rehab

jimCATDOG writes: "College running back Lee Suggs was injured in VT's first football game, requiring knee surgery and the rest of the season off. 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?

    Sheesh, how long are trolls gonna milk this for? You know, after about six weeks it's gonna start sounding pretty stupid. Not that it doesn't already. And I'm curious; where did you get the 50,000+ casualty figure from? Last I checked it was ~7,000. Of course, I'm just a sheep-shagging New Zealander.
