My glee this week was not in actual climbing, but in being part of a study on how exercise affects the brain. I was given a series of dexterity tests and hand strength tests. My right and left hands had virtually identical strength! YAY! The guy testing me was surprised when I knew that hand strength came from the forearm and not the hand. I explained that rock climbers KNEW this. (grin)

It's part of a study on (cough) older adults to find ways to help stroke victims regain use of muscles and limbs.
