Wii-Hab to Improve our Rehabilitation Programs

We have Wii-hab! Nintendo Wii Fit



In an effort to keep our therapy routines from becoming tedious we have introduced a new fitness device to our facility: The Nintendo Wii! We look at the Wii Fit as a terrific tool to keep certain patients involved in their therapy and provide some measurable progress reports as we work through their rehabilitation program.



The Wii Fit comes with a balance board and an array of games and activities that help patients improve their balance, core strength and proprioception. Wii-hab (or Wiihabilitation) is a part of our game plan!

Check out this video; It is a good example of the things we can do with the Wii.
