Gordon Hayward's marble rehab progress - it's no game

Gordon Hayward's rehab involves a lot of strengthening of the left ankle joint, but restoring dexterity to the ankle, foot and toes was as important - thus the grab-the-marbles-with-the-toes-and-place-them-in-the-box contest was born. It was all timed, and the healthy right foot won by a mile after Gordon's cast was removed. But things have changed.

Trust me, this is not a game. I performed similar rehab and timed test on a police-officer client hoping to return to work after suffering a mangled foot and hand in a motorcycle accident.
