Just one month after his huge accident at Chicago, Target Chip Ganassi Racing driver Ryan Briscoe is continuing to make good progress in his recovery after two weeks at the Formula Medicine rehabilitation centre in Italy. source: crash.net The Australians latest x-rays have shown his fractured bones are healing nicely, with staff orthopaedist Dr Vito Maiolino confident that Bricoe will be able to train without the aid of any support bandages or brace within the next ten to 15 days. A daily physiotherapy regime, has seen Briscoe's discomfort and bruises on his back reduced, improving the pace at which he will be able to return to top physical condition. In the past few days - and much earlier than anticipated - Briscoe has also started to do some light movements at a computerised steering wheel simulator, the same piece of equipment that enabled World Series by Renault champion Robert Kubica to make a rapid return to action following a multi-fracture injury to an arm. "Considering the vast improvements that we have seen in Ryan's physical condition, we are even more optimistic about his recovery period being further shortened, allowing him the possibility to get into a race car earlier than might be expected," Aldo Fenu, head of the rehabilitation department at Formula Medicine, said.
