Dad's home-built trike helps son recover from brain injury

Dad's home-built trike helps son recover from brain injury: "'The overall goal is to have Rob be able to ride his own bike,' said Dave. 'Rob's therapists have all noticed improvement in the strength of his legs, his endurance, and the improved reflex in his legs when he is 'walking.' Besides working on the brain and physical therapy, we're hoping being outside and together as a family will help Rob work on social connections and motivation for therapies. We're also hoping the cardio workout will help Rob practice taking deeper breaths and make his speech more audible. We've seen improvements in all of these areas since he started biking.'"
