Another medical institution brings the Wii in
With it helping wounded soldiers recover and retirementcommunities to stay active, along with personal trainers utilizing it to help people to lose weight and stay fit, we wonder if there is anything the Wii can't do? Surely, at this pace, we're likely to find out it can cure cancer and provide you with a more luxurious, thicker head of hair come October.
The latest in the long line of stories about the Wii helping those in need finds us at Raleigh, North Carolina. Here, the Wake Med center is using the Wii to help those who've been in accidents or the recipients of disease. The idea to bring in the Wii was brought forth by the individual who delivers the wheelchairs, as he commented "People don't think of it as therapy. It's fun. It's a distraction, so the therapist can use it to do exercise activities that are hard to do."
