Wii Fit being used by physical therapists
I subscribe to the IT conversations podcast stream and listened to an episode today about a physical therapist that uses Ninendo Wiis as part of their practice. When I was going to physical therapy for my leg earlier this year, I mentioned the Wii Fit to my PTs, but they blew me off. I think if they had a chance to see how good some of the feedback is, they might change their mind. The Wii is also (relatively) cheap and fun enough that it can encourage people doing PT to continue working on their exercises at home. The excellent feedback the Wii gave me when I was performing balance exercises was way better than anything I saw at my PT’s office.
