For those of you who are retired (like me) and follow major league baseball,
you know about the new knee brace that Barry Bonds is crediting with
saving his carreer. As reported on SI.com.
>
Bonds was more positive about his health in the MLB.com report, raving about
a new knee brace.
>
Right now, I feel like I can play for another five years, another 10
years,'' he said. It's given me a new lease on life. That's how I'm feeling
today. I'm ready to get going.''
I have found out that the unloader brace he is wearing is the new
Bellacure OA Brace. This is the second time I have heard a professional
athlete (golf don't count) is wearing an OA brace. I fitted Ray Ferrara of
the Atlanta Thrashers (hockey) about 4 years ago. (It took Ted Turner, the
owner and billionaire about a year to pay me. I had to threaten him that I
would go to the St. Pete Times about his non-payment. He Fed-ex'd me a
check.)
I would like to do a study on retired professional athletes. How many are
wearing OA braces or have had knee replacements compared to the general
population Any grant money out there?
