The Nintendo Wii has received a lot of praise for its
ability to get people to exercise, and an excellent way to get senior citizens
active and engaged. But did you know
that can meet a psychosocial need or that it benefits balancing? How about helping stroke patients? Or increase
some internal motivation? It appears it
can do all these and more according to NHS.
There also appears to be some drawbacks such as the
possibility of causing tendonitis, or having a lack of space to ensure safe
operation.
So with all the benefits that this system displays and also
some drawbacks, it leaves the question and choice to you to decide if it is
something you would be willing to try to improve any condition or simply lack
of energy that you, or a loved one might have.
Our family uses the Wii for its entertainment value. We typical double over with laughter at the incredible lack of coordination we seem to have inherited from other generations. So fun and you are right - good exercise, mentally and physically!
ReplyDeleteThe Wii is great for people who are into gaming. I have never been into gaming and even with Wii sports, I am not amused for very long. I think it’s great that someone came up with this great idea to make gaming more interactive.
