Virtual Fitness
Nintendo’s newly released “Wii Fit” is creating a buzz in the health care community. Many professionals champion the system, saying it can help young and old alike get healthy.
Though it offers activities and sports like the regular “Wii” does, “Wii Fit” goes a step further by using a wireless board to measure weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI) and balance. The idea is that users can make sure they’re moving in the right way and also measure their fitness progress. The board can also be used for stretching and other activities. The rehab possibilities speak for themselves.
Would you consider using a video game system like “Wii Fit” with your clients? What do you think its pros and cons are?
