Nintendo's Wii has been labeled a miracle after it helped the lame walk again in a UK hospital. Physiotherapists at Seacroft Hospital in Leeds England have begun using the Nintendo Wii Fit as part of their physical therapy rehabilitation process.
Senior physiotherapist Lynn Hirst stated that many times patients have trouble "getting their weight through the prosthetic limb." The Wii Fit allows patients to see where their body weight is being placed thus aiding the process.
Since the Wii Fit is packed full of balance games, it makes it ideal for such rehab work because in the process of learning to walk again, getting balance is very important.
