Doctors can perform near miracles in reattaching severed limbs, but when these attempts fail, the options have been slim indeed, particularly for patients who lose a hand. Prosthetics researchers have tended to focus on the leg, because legs account for a vast majority of amputations, and because the leg’s relatively few muscles and bones and simple network of nerves make it an easier limb to mimic. For decades, hand and arm amputees got either a cosmetic arm with no functional use, a hook or pinchers, which can grab things but has limited flexibility....

The big problem with fatigue—other than the undeniable suffering it causes people—is its consequences. As fatigue persists without reprieve, it can negatively impact a person’s quality of life and daily functioning. To address fatigue, and its implications, experts have designed a test to appropriately measure the severity of one’s fatigue. This test, called the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), can be used in clinical settings (your healthcare provider’s office), as well as by investigators performing research studies....

Veteran starter Geoff Cameron is in the squad, and is expected to anchor the defense against Costa Rica and Honduras in the coming days. But Omar Gonzalez, Tim Ream, Matt Besler and Matt Hedges are all in the running for starting roles after having earned starts at different points this summer. “I think we have five center backs in camp. We’re in a good spot,” Arena said. “Out of those five center backs, three of them were in the Gold Cup and the other two played the last time around so we’re in good shape there I think....

Berhalter has been criticized for making seven changes to the team that took down Jamaica last Thursday, including resting key players like Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Ricardo Pepi. After the loss, Berhalter says he accepted responsibility for the decision to rotate, but he clarified on Tuesday that he was not willing to blame any of the players that stepped into the team in the defeat. DECOURCY: Why it’s a stretch to blame Berhalter for qualifying loss...

USOC leaders have received a number of inquiries about the impact of Trump’s travel ban and said the U.S. government told them it would work to ensure foreign athletes get expedited access to the United States for international competitions. “We have been specifically asked about the impact that the executive order could have on athletes and officials coming to the United States to compete,” said USOC Chairman Larry Probst and chief executive Scott Blackmun....

The CONCACAF W Championship, hosted in Mexico, is a North American regional qualifying tournament which will award four direct berths to the 2023 FIFA World Cup (to the four semifinalists) and one direct berth to the 2024 Olympics (to the W Championship tournament winner). With qualification to two major competitions on the line, the CONCACAF W Championship is a high-stakes tournament, especially for a U.S. women’s national team that has never missed a World Cup or Olympics....

After a strong start to 2019, the Utah Jazz currently boasts a 30-24 record, although the team is believed to be looking to make additions ahead of the deadline. Utah wants to add at least one star as the team aims to improve on the 17/18 season, in which the Jazz reached the Western Conference Semifinals. This does, however, mean that departures are also likely, and as we enter the final few hours of the trade window, here are the moves that the Jazz are looking to make....

The spot is not yet official because there’s still one match to play. But it would take an absolutely cataclysmic and frankly unrealistic result on the final day of World Cup qualifying on Wednesday to see the team fail to mathematically book a ticket to Qatar. The team has preached that the job is not done until it’s done, which made it all the more surprising to see what occurred on the field in the immediate aftermath of the key win over Panama....

The original incarnation of the wild card rule was vastly unpopular. Wrestling fans felt that they were seeing the same faces every week, big names in the industry had another date added to their schedule often in a very different location, and lesser utilized talents were essentially swept under the rug and forgotten about. On July 30th, SportsKeeda reported that the wild card rule would be quietly wrapping up, ensuring definitive brands in time for the Survivor Series pay-per-view....

Simone Biles exited the team final after one vault while dealing with a medical issue she confirmed was mental. With the world’s best gymnast out of action, Grace McCallum, Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles were able to carry Team USA to the silver. Meanwhile, on the men’s side, Team USA finished in fifth place for the third consecutive Olympics. They haven’t medaled in the team event since earning the bronze in 2008 and have just six team medals in 21 Olympic appearances....

Team trials wrapped up Sunday with the final swimmers qualifying for spots to represent the U.S. in Tokyo. The teams are loaded with familiar faces. Katie Ledecky will be competing in four different events, while Lilly King and Simone Manuel will each be competing in their signature events: the 100 breaststroke and 50 freestyle, respectively. On the men’s side, Caeleb Dressel and Bobby Finke each earned multiple spots, as did Ryan Murphy and Kieran Smith....

While the match ended in nervy fashion for the USMNT, with the backups on the field against top-level European players such as Edinson Cavani, Federico Valverde, and Matias Vecino, the overall performance was a second-straight positive showing against a World Cup-caliber opponent on home soil. U.S. fans will feel frustrated not to see their team find the back of the net, and also fortunate not to concede on the numerous chances for Uruguay, both of which would be fair assessments....

Danny Williams hit a laser shot off his right foot to tie the game at 3-3 in the 89th minute. WOMEN’S WORLD CUP: See USWNT stars’ childhood photos | 10 women you need to know Bobby Wood took the beautiful assist from Jordan Morris to give the USA the shocking win in the 90th minute. The Netherlands was led by two goals from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, but came up short to the United States despite holding an advantage in total shots (27-19) and time of possession (62 percent to 38 percent)....

The Jamaican star will be here in Bangalore, September 2, to play a charity cricket match, organised by PUMA, with Indian discard Yuvraj Singh here at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both Bolt and Yuvraj are brand ambassadors of PUMA. “Puma brings Usain Bolt down for a one-of-a-kind cricket face-off between two sporting legends. For the first time ever, watch the Fastest Man on Earth – Usain Bolt, challenge Yuvraj Singh to an exclusive cricket showdown at Chinnaswamy Stadium on September 2,” said a media statement by PUMA here Tuesday....

He’s a spokesman, too. Quarterbacks have a tendency of taking on that role. Like rabid Trojans fans everywhere, the USC QB is paying close attention to the wave of recruits who could end up choosing USC between now and the end of Wednesday, National Signing Day. “I think it’s going to be like Christmas,” Town told Sporting News, without mentioning the recruits by name since he has already signed. “It’ll be an anxious couple of days but it’ll be great to see what actually happens....

Bryce Love led the Cardinal (2-0, 1-0 Pac-12) on offense with 136 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. The Heisman Trophy candidate turned in a much better performance than his effort the week before when he rushed for just 29 yards on 18 carries in a victory over San Diego State. Freshman quarterback J.T. Daniels never got in a rhythm for the Trojans (1-1, 0-1), completing just 16 of 34 passes for 215 yards....

We already know who will be coaching each team. We know their designated locations as well, though all games will be played in Birmingham, Alabama, during the league’s first season. The initial rosters for each team will be revealed during the USFL Draft, which is set for Feb. 22 and 23. But now, we know one of the most important things that fans are going to be focused on ahead of the season: the uniforms....
