Wired recently wrote an article on how the Nintendo Wii is being used by hospitals for physical therapy.
Some call it “Wiihabilitation.” Nintendo’s Wii video game system, whose popularity already extends beyond the teen gaming set, is fast becoming a craze in rehab therapy for patients recovering from strokes, broken bones, surgery and even combat injuries.
I think this would be a great use for the Wii. It gets people to move around and exercise without ever realizing it. Perhaps somebody should open a Wii Gym.
