And I'd love for you to tell us about the uh the tool that again I learned from you , which is actually using a physical scale because it turns out this is that it will let you tell what the tool is . But that tool is also actively being used for assessing cognitive decline and cognitive maintenance and cognitive function in people with Alzheimer's and dementia makes total sense . Makes total sense .
But , you know , or maybe something else is wrong with me , but I'm sure there are many things else wrong with me . But um , how do you assess recovery at the local level ? Meaning at the level of the muscles ?
No , we would do in , in spring training , we do sort of a baseline entry level measurement and then we would , we would measure it throughout the season , maybe once every two weeks or three weeks . And , and , and , you know , the , the idea there was to , to manage , to , you know , manage to recover , measure the recovery . Um , but I just gave it away , you know , there to , to , to do the , you know , to determine overall recovery , your grip strength is pretty highly correlated .
I mean , you know , it , there's , there's , there's such variability between muscle groups and you're , you're linking them all together . Um I , I think that coming back and using muscle soreness as a guideline for that is , is one of the only tools we have in terms of the local level , you know , we don't really have , you know , being able to measure let's say , uh CPK levels inside of a muscle would be amazing , you know , at , at a local level to see how , how recovered that muscle is . But that becomes fairly invasive .
And , and , and , you know , the , the idea there was to , to manage , to , you know , manage to recover , measure the recovery . Um , but I just gave it away , you know , there to , to , to do the , you know , to determine overall recovery , your grip strength is pretty highly correlated . So we have found that with , with one of those scales , those old fashioned bathroom scales that like , uh the bath and beyond or whatever you can get , which by the way , almost impossible .
