Can Physiotherapy Computer Games be Beneficial to Therapists?

[Fyzzio]

My answers:

1) I disagree; but as to your question: yes (who would say 'no'???)
2) To have enough time for assessment, analysis and documentation in the first session.
3) Diaries, calendars, phone reminders, communication devices, treadmills/ exercycles etc., Wii, X-Box
4) yes
5) sometimes; but it could be a hindrance more than a benefit
6) yes
7) Me??? Absolutely not a single cent. Encouraging compliance and encouraging patients to become major leaders in their own rehab is part of a Physio programme. I would prefer to find out why their compliance is poor and change the programme, rather than accept under adherance and let them play a game, which in any case will be far less specific than an individualised exercise programme can ever be.

And a comment to your questions: you might want to ask the Physios that answer to questions in what kind of area within Physio and in what environment they work. As this will influence their responses.

Good luck,
Fyzzio
