Wiihabilitation Games Blog


Rebecca is a physiotherapist based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. She has created a blog on the use of Nintendo Wii for therapy, “based on experience... as a physiotherapist working with young disabled adults with a variety of conditions.” Her website is aimed at therapists who are using or will use the (Wii) console in rehabilitation. wiihabilitationgames.blogspot.com/

The blog organizes information about Wii by diagnosis including assessment and recording and by therapy type indicating what body system is being targeted for physiotherapy. The equipment section includes wii adaptations, and ways to calibrate the wii balance board for use with upper extremities and in sitting. This and the game reviews she has prepared wiihabilitation.co.uk/games.shtml can be of great benefit to therapists.
