I found a fascinating article on the China Daily about how WiiFit and other motion games are being used to help stroke victims. Here's a particularly interesting quote:
Quote:
Lumpkin said what really excites him, and many in his field, is that fact that today researchers are using a Wii balance board game to help stroke victims regain their balance just as effectively as an $18,000 piece of equipment.
It appears from this, then, that WiiFit and other similar games, are not only effetive when used for physiotherapy, but cheaper than the alternatives.
