Wii as Therapy

[MrKlown]

I had to share this just because I think it's the coolest thing ever. My sister works at a nursing home for the elderly and she informed me that the old people there are using the Wii as their main activity. They are even using it for rehabilitation patients in there. I wish they would let me take a video camera in there so I can show you all how hilarious it is to watch 10 or so old men and women, nearing their 90s, playing bowling. Just had to share that is all.

I had heard something about Wii used as therapy in another place. Anyway, it's great to hear it again, it means it's expanding its use as treatment.

That is actually very nice. I am glad that the Wii is helping people out in so many different ways. Thanks for sharing this.

The elderly, people with weak bones can play the Wii properly and yet there's still parents saying that it isn't safe enough...
