He did just that on a 50-mile ride across Iowa with his tandem bike partner, fellow neurologist Dr. David Heydrick, who has the movement disorder known asParkinson's disease.
After the bike trip, Heydrick noticed that his handwriting dramaticallyimproved.
In a video they shot before the ride, Heydrick's hand shook wildly, but afterward, it was steady.
In Alberts' mind, the mysterious side effect of the bike ride held an intriguing medical possibility that motor control in the arms could improve evenif it was the legs that were exercising.
