Occupational therapists
and families willing to incorporate the Wii
games into patients
rehabilitation process should be aware that the Wii technology is affordable, safe, and effective in enhancing
patients motor functions. The
age suitability ranges from adolescents to elderly patients.
The equipment required to operate Wii games is, a television, wireless hand controller, a motion sensor, play station, Wii console and Wii games. I am aware that funding is available for this equipment from District Health Boards, which is a huge advantage for occupational therapists and other health clinicians who are wanting to incorporate this into their practice.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed with COPD four years ago and struggled with worsening symptoms despite inhalers and medications. Last year, I tried an herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic, and within months, my breathing improved, coughing subsided, and my energy returned. It’s been life-changing. If you or a loved one has COPD, I highly recommend their natural approach.
