Objective: Physical therapists report on using Wii video games with children with brain injuries.
Process: Six physical therapists were interviewed. Two themes arose "technology meets clinical practice", and "onus is on the therapist".
Outcome: There are benefits and challenges where technology meets clinical practice that call on the therapist to be committed to the technology to implement it successfully. "There is a substantial need for knowledge translation initiatives for clinicians in this area".
