Hastings Physical Therapy Spine & Extremity center is making rehabilitation more fun and effective with Wii-Hab. Wii-Hab is a new and exciting rehabilitation program that utilizes the Nintendo Wii game console with a motion-sensing joystick that requires our patients to engage in the virtual sports they play, promoting a faster, livelier recovery. Wii-Hab will help our patients improve balance, endurance, coordination, strength and range-of-motion. The games our patients play will depend on their physical needs and abilities. Bowling requires less movement; tennis, baseball and golf require more balance and range-of-motion. Wii-Hab incorporates fun, everyday activities to make the rehabilitation experience of our patients more enjoyable. |
