The New York Times - Physical Therapists Use Wii Golf to Treat Patients
The New York Times reports that use of the Nintendo Wii has become more than just a game for some physical therapists. Since issues with balance and movement are common concerns for patients recovering from brain injuries or strokes, utilizing the Wii through games like golf not only adds a practical element to recovery, but a fun one. If the game is an activity the patient enjoyed pre-injury, he or she will be more motivated to continue therapy.
