Therapists, Army using Wii to rehabilitate patients
From: Engadget - 10/03/2007

We've seen a variety of methods used to help stroke patients regain motion
and motor functions, but we can't think of anything more exciting than
playing video games as a critical part of your rehabilitation. Turns out, a
number of physical therapists around the country are actually allowing
patients to relearn balance and movement skills by playing the Wii, which as
you know, it already quite the hit with the geriatric set. Furthermore,
injured soldiers in Landstuhl, Germany are also "regaining their strength by
playing virtual games on the Wii," and there's even suggestions out to
conduct a research study that looks at the effectiveness of using Nintendo's
latest console as a rehab tool.
