The idea of a mobility caf\u00e9 began with one wish from a young woman who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a car accident. She wanted to work in sales and interact with people.<\/p>\n

That wish got Cole Galloway, professor of physical therapy at the University of Delaware, thinking about mobility issues and real-world rehabilitation for individuals recovering from TBIs.<\/p>\n

Galloway, also an inventor, had created an inexpensive way to provide mobility to small children combining battery operated ride-on cars with parts from the local hardware store. Next he wanted to develop a way for patients to experience physical rehabilitation using real-world scenarios.<\/p>\n

Based upon the young woman’s desire to work in sales, Galloway created a harness system that could be attached to the ceiling of a small kiosk. With guide bars overhead, the system could support the patient and provide full mobility in any direction. The Go Baby Go Caf\u00e9 at the University of Delaware was born, and within weeks the patient was selling ice cream, making coffee and handling cash.<\/p>\n

The UCF Doctor of Physical Therapy Program had partnered with Galloway to establish the UCF Go Baby Go! initiative, under the direction of pediatric specialist and DPT faculty member Jennifer Tucker. Adding a mobility caf\u00e9 was a natural next step. The partners assembled the kiosk in the atrium of the Health Sciences building I (HS I) and Aramark became the food provider.<\/p>\n

Knights on the Go Caf\u00e9 opened for business in January 2016 and is now helping to transform the lives of a local TBI patients, including Diana Tafur, pictured above.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]UCF Unveils First-of-its-Kind Therapy Cafe in Florida.\u00a0Knights on the Go Caf\u00e9 was developed by UCF Go Baby Go!, an initiative of the UCF Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, Aramark, UCF […]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-366","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nKnights on the Go Caf\u00e9 - Doctor of Physical Therapy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"UCF Unveils First-of-its-Kind Therapy Cafe in Florida.
