Physio and the Nintendo Wii?

[wiifitguy]

jshaffer, have you published your results anywhere that we could read them? I'd be very interested in any evidence either way. Using the Wii and Wii Fit seems like a good idea for many people, but it would be good to see some hard facts.

These would be easy and simple read for understanding of how Wii is used for rehabilitation purposes.

Hope this would be helpful.

Fantastic, thanks for that. I'll take a good look at that. I'm going to start specifically covering the physio use of Wii Fit over at WiiFitForum dot org over the next few months. There seems to be a lot of activity in the field.

Take a look at the article on page 12 of the attachment.

Unfortunately, our study was done before the Wii Fit went to market.
