Wii in Rehab

The below clip is looking at therapy through the use of the video game Wii. Wii is able to offer an alternative method of rehab, or Wii-hab as it has become called. Wii-hab is becoming more common especially across USA, and there is a variety of clients which Wii-hab can help including clients post surgery, poor balance, clients with low coordination, Parkinson’s disease, and muscle weakness. As shown in the clip below, it did not take long for clients to engage in Wii, and it has become a favourite rehab exercise for many involved, due to the fun and interactive aspect of Wii. Wii can be used for a wide variety of age groups as children most commonly play video games; however, it is shown below that the elderly also enjoy playing Wii. There are a lot of other clips on Wii-hab on the internet, along with websites and blogs.
