Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello group, wanted to get some feedback on the Wii system and rehab with this. First of all should inpatients and outpatients use this? Second, is this a billable service and where do you draw the line between rehab and playing a game? I have looked into purchasing a balance master in the past and recently I used the Wii Fit system and didn't see a lot of difference between the two and actually thought that the Wii Fit might have more applications for rehab? Just wanted to get thoughts from everyone on this, thanks Jeff Nolder, MSPT Director of Physical Medicine and Rehab CRMC _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® goes where you go.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Jeff, Our clinic has been using the wii and wii fit for many patient applications in our outpatient clinic. Very useful for balance and proprioceptive work. We considered purchasing a balance system, but when we look at the cost, we need to re-think and, for now, continue using our balance tests ie: Berg, tinetti, etc. along with other gait and exercise techniques, but the wii certainly has added to this list of techniques....and it is fun. We have staff contests after hours...good for us too.
